Should i install a box ma???

[rayhunter]

put box. i got 3 and i still feel not enough. i want to install 2 more on the side of the fork. hehe...... and maybe install 1 more on the fender. hehe.....

 

add another front basket for wave below the headlamp area and another removable small box on top of the fuel tank... :angel:

yr bike will be full of boxes...hee..

then u high speed and coner got abit unbalance liao.. same again must get use of it..

 

i have seen quite a number of s4 putting 1 sidebox only.. actually if i squeeze abit should be able to do that.. but looks abit funny leh..

 

im one of them...

 

 

if u make ur own brackets n make the side brackets close to e bike with 2 21litre sideboxes....goin between cars is a breeze....

 

well true u got to hav to compensate more....but still can high speed n corner ...but best to get offmarket shocks like bitubo...

 

for my box...the widest part is still at the handlebars....as i made e brackets very close the sides but not touching...best to use a wingrack....well u have to position the wing rack high enuff that the box does not touch e exhaust....for me....my side boxes r positioned rear enought that my pillion is able to stand on e pillion pegs with her legs straight.

pillion comfort is very important...cheers

 

i am a really "hum" rider.. even bigger bikes dare to lane split sometimes i still stay in lane.. so probably adding sideboxes will make me even more "hum"..

oh ok thanks for the advise.. my pillion comfort is very important too..

when i travel; top box for barangs, left box for rain coat, right side for helmet.

dun put expensive stuff in ur boxes... cos u might not know who's gonna come and prey open ur box...

i read up tat ppl parking at Plaza Singapura and Bugis basement carpark also got their boxes preyed open...

 

getting through traffic jams is still ok. as long as u r confident and steady, all goes well.

most important is ur judgment when travelling in moving traffic...

what about top box + 2 side boxes..? how many fellow forummers actually install 3 boxes? top box for helmets, 1 side for 2 sets of raingear + the other for bags..

 

Here you go....

thanks palmer and s4tec.. actually went to see your pics in friendster.. but if i were to put sidebox would be using 21l boxes.. just nice enough space (hopefully) + provide protection for my pillion also..
