Mounting a SHAD top box on a 2013 F6B

Post by 2013F6B »



I have a 2013 F6B and a SHAD 48 top box left over from another project.
I have a rear rack which seems to be the only one available (picture attached).
I can't find a product to attach the mounting plate to the luggage rack.
If that's not possible, I would even consider a different luggage rack but can't find one.
Surely one of our sage members has dealt with this or has an idea?

If the box can't accommodate that rack, I'm sure an adapter plate can be fabricated from aluminum sheet and either painted or anodized to match.
Maybe start with the universal mounting plate D1B48PAR if you want the case to be removable. Or just use some aluminum plate to make it more close fitting and semi-permanent mounting, by drilling holes to bolt directly to the rack. A lot will depend on where it needs to be placed so the back pad lines up with the seat if you want your passenger to be comfortable.
