    Fitting a top box

    Hi Folks,

    I'm new to this site as I just bought a Blackbird......Yayyy!!

    It has the Honda side panniers but I want to fit a top box with a backrest for my good lady.

    Has anybody fitted a suitable rack which works with the panniers so i can then mount the box??

    Cheers

    Steve

    Welcome from Canada! There is no direct fit item available, but some have mounted a universal Givi plate with some creative bracketry.

    Have a search here Stevie. There was a bloke tha had done just that, so look for his thread for some ideas and inspiration mate.
