Just got myself an 04 rockster in the lime and black. I was wondering if anyone on here has fitted a top box to theirs. If anyone has can you tell me how you did it cheers.

TOP BOX
HiTHERE FOLKS,
Just got myself an 04 rockster in the lime and black. I was wondering if anyone on here has fitted a top box to theirs. If anyone has can you tell me how you did it cheers.

Re: TOP BOX
If you have the BMW silver rack then you can semi-permanently fix a top-box like this :
The box is sitting on a plastic bread board (cut to fit) in place of the silver part of the BMW rack. The metal sheet inside the box spreads the load from the 4 screws that align with the existing holes in the BMW rack uprights.
whole thing WILL wobble over bumps etc but has not failed in over 3 years of daily use.

Re: TOP BOX
it's not an instant on/off though, (obviously) - but it's only 4 screws to remove the uprights from the grab handles - 30 seconds with a Torx.borderbiker wrote:Cheers for that, am off to buy a bresd board and hunt out my jigsaw.

Re: TOP BOX
If you find your box bounces around a bit get the Givi mounting kit, other brands of top box base plates can be drilled to fit it.
