Hmmmmmm,....So I have been overloading it?[8D]

 

Hey that's cool. Same bike as mine. Did the carrier come with everything required to mount it? The 09's don't come with a rack. Just curious. Def. interested in that item. thanks

 

My rack I thought said eleven pounds. Oh well i use this thing ALL the time and no problems. You can only get so much in this so I don't think you'll over load it.

Seems like I read in the early days (~2006?) that several people broke the rear of their ride mounting auxiliary fuel tanks and similar weighted things. None of the reports I remember were over 2 gallons so, maybe it was due to some severe off-roading that was done. That tiny rack is is pretty worthless around town as it is so, having something large enough for a reasonable amount of groceries is definitely in my future.

 

Kevin,

What are the particulars with the Givi top case? Which model and mounting hardware? Any notes or advice about mounting? A small lockable top case might be just what I need for stuff I don't want in my backpack and don't want to bewindblown as I ride home.

Thanks,
Sid

 

I have the e33 it came with everything, mounting plate, hardware, case, it fit like a glove and took about 5 min. to install. One key one latch and fully waterproof. Also it comes off with one push of the button and removed it has a nice plate that looks better then the bare rack. I think I paid $89.00 for it.

After a long searching for a good tail pack that wasn't to wide, long or tall imo. For my 2009 klx 250s. I had norrowed my choices down to Nelson-Rigg Mini Sport Tail Pack CL-75 and a CHASE

HARPER 5501.

http://www.chaseharper.com/TailTrunks/TailTrunks.htm(select 5501 on left column on web site, wont direct link)

The cheapest i could find the Nelson was 58.12 after shipping at http://motorcycle-luggage.com/

For the Chase harper cheapest was $93.00 before shipping, the Chase is very nice imo can collaspe to 3" but price was kinda steep. Plus i was kinda worried about it getting stolen while inside

a store, both bags use 2 types of straps to secure to tail section.

I bought the nelson one, ill post some pics soon, waiting on ups (

did you have to buy anything to mount the trunk to the bike? or does it come with everything you need for the trunk.

 

Open box and mount it COMES WITH EVERYTHING!
