Looks good. Does this clear the rear brake caliper when the suspension is compressed?

What size tube are you using? Is there supposed to be two photos?

I realy like this, thinking to do the same but is the base of the topbox strong enough to carry the weight ?

Well, it made it through 3000 miles in the last 5 days! And I bought them off a used 2012 Tenere, so yes they have held up well.

I attached mine to the inside of my HT racks using a couple of handmade mounting brackets. It did require that I drill two holes in the racks. There aren't any clearance issues with the rear brake caliper. The tube is 4" ABS pipe (better than PVC since it doesn't shatter from a hard impact), with a custom made nosecap and locking door. The toughest part was the paint job; that took two tries.

Thanks for the reply, I'm going to have a look at it this weekend. ::008::

I added a baby pelican box to the inside of my right bag. No interference with the wheel. works great.

I went the cheapo $6 pvc pipe route. It holds enough tools to do minor repairs and get the wheels off. I might carry a Bronson Rock if I'm heading into rough territory.

Good idea and great way to use empty wasted space. I'm thinking of doing something like that myself. The motorcycle farkle stuff is way overpriced anyway..... ::008::

Mega Tube. $28 @ local gun show.

That almost looks like an AT4 anti tank rocket launcher.. ::012::
