[Discussion] Technical - Boxes & Storage Systems

[World Misanthropy]

Thos who want to buy box might try llok at this shop at JB. NTP bikeshop (same street with Maybank) near Pelangi Leisure Mall. They got sell Givi(They r 1 of author dealer), coocase n other brand too. I ask the Givi price is more cheaper then SG. I asked b4, box only. cheaper ard 30-50%. thats a lot.

 

Thx for the info. When are u going to that place again? I wanna follow...

I think I try this meatl base before but can not secure the box as i believe the catch is different.

 

the plate can.. i jus changed my small givi base plate to the one show in the pic.. now my box wont shake liao.. if u keen inthe plate, look for vtec88 in garage sales.. he selling a similar one but he nv state price..

[spaiduhz]

change to metal base plate.

 

the plastic ones, if I presume, are sitting on 2 extension plates secured to the racks?

the metal ones are bigger & longer which shld sit nicely onto the racks where you can direct bolt onto it.

 

E45 shld be Monolock, metal base plate shld look like this:

Please be adviced that the e450 and the e45 are different boxes. The e450 "simply" is a monolock, 42 liter box. It uses the baseplate shown. The e45 is an old monokey box. Baseplate used is similar to what the maxia series are using.

E450 plates is much smaller in design compared to the E45 ones...

The differences are stated clear above by spaiduhz and stoner.

 

Both Monolock & Monokey has metal base plates, FYI.

Did H&B have a top box rack for S4?

 

I thought it has to be custom mounted?

Last time, I bought the rack from one shop then drill some holes to mount the H&B base plate.

 

you mean the rack need to be custom made? where can i do it?

Hello guys,

 

I just a bought a pair of Givi E21s for my phantom. Now I am looking for the rack/bracket to mount them on my bike. If anyone is letting go the rack only please PM me. If anyone knows where to get used rack from scrapped bikes or something, please let me know.

 

Cheers!

Anyone has problem with this kind of mounting point/rack on a spec 1?

 

I wish to install a 48l coocase but I am worried the mount point/rack cannot handle as the coocase itself is pretty heavy when it is empty.

 

Is there a better way to mount the rack? Thanks.

If you read back this thread, the mounting point @ the (used to be) bungee cord hook point is a weak point.

 

It'll either, due to weight stress, break from the sub-frame.

Re-welding back the point will still occur the problem.

 

This is because the design of this bike, especially spec 1 & 2, does not have specifically rack for mounting boxes, and the boxes company will have to use conventional ideas to fabricate the mounts.

 

The worse case of stress fracture, was that the rack itself, at the curve up point broke, just ask dragonforce.

& he was using Givi E52 then.

 

Main thing of using this rack & mount is that, periodic check the sub-frame and also not to overload the box.

 

There is, however, a way to curb this, but, to each his own views, maybe ugly.

SCDF's fleet had fabricated a "n" shape metal(nt sure which material) over the rear seat and tail for its Wingrack, thus spreading the load as if there's a pillion on it instead of just having just the mount points of the suspension and bungee cord hook point.

 

just my 0.001¢

[lycan]

@Kev's: Thanks for the info... Other than the N shape bar.. any other ways? like custom making a new rack with different mounting point?

 

I am intending to tour with my spec1 :/

[BigPumpkin]

Guys wondering if any of you put a top box bigger size than 45L one? I am considering the Maxia II 55L. Will it look odd and also going at high speed have problem?
