StubyDoo Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 What options are available for a rack to carry a top box? The OEM one is seriously over priced at £250. So far I've only found SW Motech as an alternative. Any recommendations? Also, it the rack for the Crossrunner the same as they look very similar.

inztigator Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I was also looking at top box options for my 2015 Crossrunner recently. Honda wanted $1495, but I found an alternate option. Shad! Topbox and rack - $487!! http://www.motorcycleaccessoriesaustralia.com.au/shop/lifestyle/luggage/shad/shad-fitting-kits-1/honda/honda-vfr800-2014-2015 And http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/161413638043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

house Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 SW Motech has some great options no matter what luggage you want... they make plates for just about anything http://shop.sw-motech.com/en/by+products/Luggage+Systems/Racks/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StubyDoo Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 The SW Motech rack is looking favourite. Shame the £ is weak at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inztigator Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Well, FWIW, I fitted the SHAD rear carreir bracket and SH39 top box. Very happy with the outcome, and the quality. All up AU $480 as opposed to AU $1495 for OEM top box and carrier!!! I was nervous after reading your posts, but I am one happy SHAD customer now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkey Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Got a Shad 46L topbox that moves between my 2 bikes. Now that I have the VFR, I will buy the Shad mount pretty soon. I also see they have mounts for there newest hardbags. You could be all in for about $600. I will probably go that route in a month or two.

StubyDoo Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 I have bought a Vfr Vtec top box for £90 on eBay and an SW Motech rack for £95 so not too dear. Hopefully the two will fit together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
