tool bax in place of rear seat?

[deaninkl]

I don't use the rear seat on my 1200 so I removed it. does anybody know of small luggage, toolpouch holder.. that would fix to that space. I have tob box and paniers, but what I'm looking for is something flat, so I could still put a soft bag on top if need be.

cheers.

You can get metal luggage plates that sit in place of the rear seat complete with tie down points etc. Something a bit like this: http://www.cymarcbikeparts.co.uk/bmw-r1200gs-extended-rear-seat-mounted-rack-40-p.asp

You could just bolt down a toolbox of your choice to that and allow soft luggage to go on top. Been thinking of something similar myself.

You might regret it when you come across the stranded biker babe at the side of the road looking for a lift. Happens to me all the time

Happened to me once, although describing her as a babe might be a bit strong.

Thanks for that GS Monkey, usefull link. I have thought of the tool box route, but i'm looking at something just a couple of inches high...

As for G Man, Tony and veefour...wimps the lot of yu's....any biker babe would be sat on the tank facing me...obviously...

Might want to PM Mark Hooton then. He might be able to make something if you know exactly what you're after. I'd imagine there'd be a bit of a market for that sort of thing.

What and risk her scratching my tank? Not likely! Unless of course her arse is covered in the softest fine leather.....
