These are how the bolts look without the spacers and the rack bracket only. The 90 degree steel bracket is needed to join those bolts to that plate. The mounting is super solid.

These pics show it pretty well IMO, see the two bolts sticking down from the tail? The spacers go on those and the 90 degree steel angle bolts to them and the steel plate on the rack.

 

Side view...

 

The rear most holes I used to mount the under tail bracket, thru steel frame brace...

 

I should have a top box mount bolted on and a matching box by weeks end.

 

The bolts thru the pass peg mounts are very home Depot appearing, I'll be swapping on some button head allens ASAP!

 

why did you make that huge frame? i've never seen something like that before on a bike

 

I have seen a few on sport bikes, but of course I live in a military town. All them navy boys gotta transfer their stuff on their only ride somehow!

Worst I've seen is a guy overloading his bike with dufflebags.

Edit - Didn't see there was a second page where you said you didn't notice the topic. Nevermind!

 

It is a typical luggage rack. A hard box will be on it, travel with soft bags then try hard, you'll never go back! Dry clothes are nice.

I may end up adding a set of loops to these so I can put on hard saddle bags too!

This was on my last bike as a top box.

 

it would help if i paid attention to which tab i was on... i thought this was the fender eliminator tab and i was like woah

 

hahaha

 

I have the Ventura Luggage Rack on my 2008 Ninja 250. I see that they have a luggage rack for the 300 now, but the SW-Mototech is much prettier!

 

I went with Chase Harper products but haven't taken any pics yet, I'll upload when I do.

 

SW-motech rack and moose Racing small Expidetion top box.

 

That Moose box is too small for my needs so I'm gonna sell it cheap and I have a CooCase S50 box with backrest pad for passenger enroute with a quick release mount plate for the SW-Motech rack. Three 1/4 turn quicky bolts pop the mount on/off in seconds. A simple twist of a screwdriver locks it on/off.

That means the case is installed completely in about 30 seconds from a bare rack and back in the same time.

I added a Cortech tankbag too, I had one about 5 years and handed it down to my kid brother. It was in service another 5 years and given away again! They don't make the one I had anymore, but I found a new NOS that was bigger and built in the same style. The cheapo one I showed above is still a good deal, and I may use it as an every day bag anyway.

I'll post up some pics of both when I have the box in hand!

 

Sport Touring 300

 

ok, i have to be honest, that looks crazy, there is no way i would have that on my bike. But I have to be real and honest, I know that several people, use bikes as a main transport, and sometimes, you just gotta have the storage. Im glad you got what you were looking for, and now it will be that much easier on you to toss stuff in there and ride out.

 

Crazy?

I think it looks like a two week bike trip next month!

Wait till it is 2up loaded and south bound & down.

It takes me about 30 seconds to literally lift the tank bag off and remove the box. I expect to piss off a few on "real" sportbikes by passing them with that stuff mounted!

 

lol,

 

I don't have a rack like you but yeah the first thing that goes on my bike is a nice tank bag and tail bag since it is my only transportation. I laugh all the way to the grocery store and back

 

I do alot of trips out of state and 2 up so I needs my space. Alone I could live out of a tank bag for a week but not with a passenger. The "stuff" quadruples with a passenger!

 

The first thing I did with my 2009 wr250x was to fab a rack for it. I've yet to find a fender eliminator for the 300 that I like, when I do, i'll purchase it and start a fab on a rack.
Here is the wr250x with the rack I built for it...yeah its back yard bill, but it worked...
I mounted a plastic 1'X1' milk crate to it to carry larger items when grocery shopping.

 

old3: what exactly did you mean by

"Soooooooooooooo I cut a piece of 1.5 X 1.5" angle steel stock, drilled a few holes and..."

and

"The rear most holes I used to mount the under tail bracket, thru steel frame brace..."?

I really want to do this same setup on my bike but I'm not exactly sure how you fixed the misalignment issue. If you don't mind, can you elaborate a bit more with pictures?

Thanks!

 

Sammy, it is the simplest of fabrications. The steel I used was 1.5 X 1.5" 90 degree angle (like a piece of bedframe rail) that I cut to length, about 6" off the top of my head. I drilled in a couple holes to match the ones on the rack bracket and bolted it together. Super simple.

 

old3: Thanks for the clarification!

Initially I thought that the issue was that the two bolts won't go into those 2 holes at the corner of the rack bracket because they don't line up lol

But if I understand it correctly now, the real issue is that the bolts aren't long enough to reach the rack bracket. And you essentially had to put in "spacers" to join the bolts and the rack bracket.

Would it work if we just use a longer bolt?

Thanks!

 

Nope, not the issue, the holes are facing 90 degrees from where the bolts point. Longer bolts will just pass behind the mounting plate. You can see the 2 holes that I mounted the angle steel to. They holes run horizontally thru a vertical plate, the bolts run vertically, thus the 90 degree angle bracket.

In the pic with the spacers, if you look you can see the angle is bolted to them, the bracket angle runs horizontally where the long spacered bolts bolt to it, towards the rear then 90 degrees down towards the ground where it bolts to the rack plate.

It must be hard to see cause it is all painted black?

Now I'm getting dizzy!
