Must get a 'rip' on one. It's the only bike I'd even consider chopping the 'blade in for. The DCT version has been getting some very interesting revues. Nick.
Needs must mate, was either that or leave the luggage at the hotel or on the road somewhere with anyone behind trying not to smash into it. Didn't set off like it, was an emergancy solution. Point being, the seats curl.
Straps from the Kreiga mate, a few have had the same problem when carrying more than say just a 20. Renntec like Col say's sorts it.
I'd be a little worried of the seat bracket and latch being man enough to hold a fully loaded top box, but then never tried it and does look a great solution.
The seat doesn't hold person, the pillion stops themself from falling off by holding the rider or whatever. I'm not saying it doesn't work btw
In the highly unlikely event that the latch fails there's a fail safe,2 metal hooks,but like I said I've done it and you'd rip the box off the base way before the seat ever failed
....but if you prefer bungee ropes and gaffer tape and scratched paint then that's up to you!! Just wanted to show you what I did!
Mate, whats the point of buying a quality bike and then leaving it at home, and using a lardyarsed tourer? You know you will regret it after about 10 miles. Our European raids always run around 400-500 miles a day, just non stop full on riding. All I ever take is my trusty rucksack, pants do 2 days ( stick em in the outside mesh pocket to air them), lightweight base layers, few pairs socks, shorts and something like beach shoes for the evening, toiletries and chain lube. Job done, don't forget you are a hard hairy assed biker, not an hairdresser.
I'll repeat myself, great idea/solution. My seat has a latch at the front and two plastic arms at the back that slide under the subframe, but then I've only had the bike four years so may have missed the fail safes. I don't use bungee ropes, I have no scratched paint on the tail and I've explained the gaffer tape. Sorry OP for hijacking the tread.
LOL I know the quote sterotypes some of you.........but eh I drive the ultimate hairdressers car, so I have some input on this And there is a healthy living to be made waxing hairy asses I hear.
