Give Type Plate On A Standard Rack

As title, sort of.

I was thinking of fitting a small top box for the odd occasion. I know they look blooming fugly, especially on a bonneville, but my teardrop panniers are tiny. I just want a smallish one, say large enough to take a single helmet, possibly 30L.

Can any one tell me if a givi plate, or similar, will fit onto a standard size triumph rear rack. What concerns me is the raised rear grab rail bit of the rack. Would that get in the way of mounting a topbox ?

I have tried a search but without success.

Thanks JJ

 

Perfect, thanks tc.

 

Thanks Steve. I just checked out your link myself. They look a decent bit of kit. 10 years use is excellent.
Now I know a plate will fit on my rack I will carefully consider what size box to get. I'm thinking now something in between the 2 sizes at squaredeals. About 40L could be about right. Thanks for your posting, appreciate it.

Lovely looking 955 in your photos. I used to have a t595 back in the day. Cracking bike but too uncomfortable in the end.

Cheers JJ

 

I'm of the same mind Curly. I will probably remove the plate from the bike when not using the topbox. It won't be needed very often, but will come in handy occasionally.

I bought the leather tear drop panniers to retain the original look of the bike. They're not very practical though. They don't hold much and have a tiny opening aperture. I've not used them in a downpour but can't see them keeping much water out. Wished I'd bought something more practical. Another case of the heart ruling the head ( pun intended ).
