Fitting a box to the PD, Satan made me do it!

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Please tell me thats photoshopped

Give an Irishman a lovely neat airhead and he butchers it

I blame Civil for making the monstrosity in the first place

Calm down ya owl muppet, at your age you'll do yourself an injury

It's a work in progress, if it can take that box which is in fact the same size as a 1200 GSA box it can take anything, I even loaded it with 30 kg of kitty litter just to make sure.

The main part of the exercise is to see if the clamps work and from what I can see they do.

Just fitted countersunk stainless set screws for a completely flat load area.

The wall stand off type bracket looks rather interesting for the front mount for a dolls house

You can do the testing for that bit, actually I thought it might be useful myself

 

[Sylvester]

Do you need planning permision for a top box of that size?

I've classed it as a conservatory so it's not required

Put an ammo box or a Black and Decker alloy box on........proper street cred

I think I'll add N.W.S. to the title

15mm p-clips are very usefull aren't they? Opens up a whole world of topbox possibilities

 

[Sylvester]

Argh!!!!!!!!!

I bet you don't find such in depth top box discusion on the Ducati Monster web site.

" Love me love my box"

Looks fine to me

Were the frames as easy to work on as MMs?

 

[Ogmios]

There is a link to the supplier in the first post

The upper tubes n the bkes frame are 15mm, the lower and reap ril are 18mm.

I bought a number of 18mm and 15mm but only used the 15, so if you need 18mm I can sort you out with some.

Clamps and fittings cost me £21 delivered

ahem.
only getting time to look into this now. (basically coz, as it's me bithday, i'm on the doss!)
ANYhow,

Typically I ordered too many so what pannier rails are we talking about here? TT rails are 18mm tube, BMW rails are 15mm from memory.

How many do you need?
