metal mule rack and box

well i got fed up with the otr tail pack and it started tearing where it mounts to the tail section of the bike.
So i bit the bullet and bought a metal mule stubby top box and rack.
Expensive, yes. I can't actually bring myself to write how much, look it up if you want to know. But its great, really good solid bit of kit, and the rack went on fairly easily.
I did have to drop the exhausts out the way, but it was worth it.
By the way, check the clamps on your ccc's, mine were loose, and now they are tight, has made a huge diff to power and rideability.
Will update on box and rack as i use them. So far well pleased.

Right then, one of the rack from behind



one from the side



one showing the spacers for mounting outside the grab handles, there's also one in each side where it mounts to the mudguard mounting to clear the body work.




one with the box from the back



back side shot



and finally looking back at the box



It fits well, and is rattle free due to the fixing mechanism. I'll try to do a few of the box inside and the fixing mechanism etc, but gotta go and cook dinner now.
