Thanks Phil! I've got you on the list to get a new TT rear bracket when it arrives, but would also be interested if you have some thoughts on a better mousetrap.
Thanks Mike - keep me posted how it mounts up with the HT rack...would love to see some pictures!PNWSuperbeast said:Took the plunge and ordered. Will be setting it up to the Happy Trails panniers, will let you know how it works once it gets here! ::015::

I do have decent stock of the OEM/Happy Trail boxes if anyone is looking to add some carrying capacity to their bike and will ship within 24 hours.
Thanks!

Then I am confused. What is "I do have decent stock of the OEM/Happy Trail boxes if anyone is looking to add some carrying capacity to their bike and will ship within 24 hours." ? What you showed is the DS box.Dallara said:Just hit the "Shop by Motorcycle" button, click on Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere and they are listed right there, the fourth item down. Here's the direct link:

Once there just click on the button for what kind of cases you have...
They are also listed under the "Luggage Accessories" section, fifth item down the page.

I like the DS box and have it mounted like you suggested but it is inline with the brake caliper. If I mount it as specified it is pressed against the OEM side case. How long before the brackets break. I don't understand why the DS box fits other Tenere's and not mine.

Hey I don't get mad at anything unless it is earned, sort of like LA Traffic. I was looking for the mentioned "OEM/Happy Trail boxes".Dallara said:Hey, don't get mad at me, Tomatocity...
I don't work for the ADV Motorrad. I was just trying to help you find the DS boxes quickly.
That said, I think you may be confused. IIRC, ADV Motorrad does not sell any side cases themselves except for the Holan brand, and what he is referring to is different configuration DS boxes to fit with various brand side cases.
But perhaps I should bow out now and stop trying to help...

Thanks for the photo Rocky. That is exactly the way mine is now mounted. My concern is / was whether the DS box will clear the brake caliper when fully compressed. I just measured the clearance and it is 8" even. Will this be enough. Does the shock have 7.5" of travel or does the axle have 7.5" of travel?RockyDS said:
As you can see there is certainly some space between the DS box and the OEM side case on my bike. I can only think yours is different because of how the bracket position relates to where you placed them on the mounting bolts related to the other hardware, washers, etc. or the orientation of the brackets themselves. Maybe worth double-checking.
Unfortunately, it probably won't. One of the nice things about the Holan systems is how tightly they fit to the bike...unfortunately, that also makes it pretty tricky to fit a raidbox between the pannier loop and the subframe. I'm working with DSBP on a few different ideas to see if we can get one to fit up, and I'll definitely update the thread when/if it becomes available.clint64 said:Jason,
Does the upcoming TT model work with the Holan Racks? If not what are the chances of having one set up to work with the Holans?
