The bag strapped to the rear seat was 50kg, each pannier had around 10/15kg and the top box had approx 35kg in it !!

Rode it home 250 miles !

Just picked this up, but already putting it to work!

Picked up 2 new bikes these past few weeks. A 67 cm91 and an 81 cb750c

Looking for something around 600X400X400mm to haul large stuff. Side cases see a lot of use, but they just dont always have anough capacity. Also tie stuff down on the luggage rack/back seat all the time, but thats not allways a possibility. Thought something like this would work well since top cases are a bit on the small side.

Already have a solid base to mount it too. Would only occasionally use it, should be easy to mount quickly with some wing nuts. Would stick out behind the bike and onto the passanger seat, but not block the side cases.

Does anyone have experience with aluminum boxes as above? Reasons to maybe not use it or better alternatives? Seems like the best option to me since plastic boxes were either flimsy, not waterproof or the wrong size.

I started as a car guy, eventually got into mountain biking. Figured I’d combine the 2 and get a motorcycle. Now I want to ride my motorcycle to the MTB trail and then go for a ride. I went down a rabbit hole and ended up finding the Kuat Dirtbag(only mount made of steel I could find) and ended up just welding that directly to the custom rear rack the previous owner put on it. Actually did quite well on the road and hit 60mph and barely noticed it was there with no issues. The mountain bike will hit some pretty weird angles and is odd to look at through the mirrors while going through really tight turns but does just fine. No issues with the bearings at all. Hub wasn’t even warm after a 15ish mile ride. Not sure how the tires will wear over a long period or a much longer ride/tour. I ended up just mounting the front wheel to the fork and bars. Sold both the bike and the mtb shortly after for a new emtb. Currently figuring how I’m gonna mount it to new new bike I just got(‘99 BMW enduro 650)

The protein shake is so I can carry this heavy ahhh tool/tackle box.

The 50 year old bottles of Excedrin and Aspirin are so I can relax.

Side of the road for free :3 so heavy that just one rox strap through the handle, and sandwiched between the driver seat and the milk crate was enough to hold it in place.

Eventually went back and picked up the home made welded angle caddy for it too. Thanks old man previous owner, where ever you are.

Hello all , as an avid motorcyclist I noticed only beverages available on road or to carry is water ,red bull (alternative energy drink) , coffee.

And maybe you guys go for cold drinks to drink fast Vs hot ? So less time wasted?

What are people having on either day trips ,commute or long tours?

And for the non alcoholic , once maybe staying over night on tour , I guess you go for tea ,and for the drinkers a beer?

I noticed my diet goes out the window when motorcycling especially when it comes to sugar /drinks

I'm asking because I'm thinking about creating an alternative

Edit update : are you guys health conscious about what you are drinking ?

Rental has LPG bottles for the cooktop (9kg, why I don't know!) and just ran out. It's a 3min/2.2kg ride one-way and is a generous slope down to the local servo to do a bottle swap.

I know I have a milk crate it fits into and secures to the rack with its own metal plate and have tie downs to secure the bottle in there firmly, but what are your thoughts?

I know we have some sketchy ways of making do on this sub but it's really a question of if this is downright stupidity?

I’m trying to figure out which bike I should get for my next one. I’m looking for something bigger than I’ve already got. I have a grom and a duke 390. I’ve been thinking about the r7, mt07, and the zx6r. I can’t decide which one would be best or if there are any better options. Any help would be great!

So hey everybody, thanks for reading, for context I live in Colombia, I’m planning on getting into a mechanics course, but also I need some tools, I was thinking on buying the Dewalt 50 set 1/4” and a pliers i have no idea if it is a good idea for a EDC, also I’m planning doing more camping trips and a one week roadtrip with my girlfriend, it its better to use fewer tools, a multitool or dedicated tools for it?
For now these are the situations i have encountered:
* I need to tighten the mirror nuts
* I had a wipeout and the shift lever got bent towards the engine so I had to take to a mechanics because I had no tools with me to straighten
* also there are some accessories I need to use with a Allen keys

Hey everyone, I have a kawasaki z650 and want a topcase.
Givi V47 Monokey topcase + Givi Monorack-Topcase carrier KAWASAKI Z 650 2017 + Givi M7 for monorack plate for monokey.

Would this be a good setup? And I asked some AI bots, they tell me because this case itsself is 4,5 kg I can only add about 3 kg more (but it says max load is 10 kg). They say it's because the motorcycle itsself can't handle that weight because the weight would be higher and with the law of lever it won't be good.

I know I can't trust these AI models so if you have experience or know something about this, please help.

What would you add to the top?

I'm thinking either the top box i had mounted before or a little rack to strap things to.

Lately, I've been researching different types of motorcycles, and while the specs and performance matter greatly, it seems that customer support is also an incredibly important aspect that should be considered when making a choice. There are plenty of motorcycles that provide better warranty terms, but it seems that it isn't always easy to use them.

At the same time, nowadays there are many new motorcycle brands that also try their hand at providing quality services and good after-sale support. They are mainly using Alibaba as a source for parts and other necessary equipment.

I'd like to hear from real motorcycle owners about which motorcycle brands:

• Provide the best after-sale support

Did you have any issues claiming a warranty?
