I just finished installing the plate and removable luggage box on my Ryker Rally. It may not look like a Rally to you, but I have replaced the rear fender with a FULL fender and when I replaced my handlbar and grips, the hand guards would not fit, so I didn't install them. Believe me, it's still a Rally. The luggage is a Comie, 42L box that cost me $49 with free shipping. It will hold two helmets. So, I have some saddle bags also and I can sling them across the mount before locking the box on it, if/when I need to some added carrying space.
Nice I have the same trunk. I installed it behind the passenger seat, that way I can still ride with my kids.
Since my wife is not riding with me yet, due to medical limitations, I installed the box so that the backrest works for me, the driver. When the kids come down, I can take the plate off and put the back seat on. They go out on it 2 up for the day, and do not need the luggage. The grandkids are in college and may not visit that often right now, but my daughter and her husband love to spend hours on the Ryker cruising around the area. I may pick up a smaller box to fit on the back for times when I just need to pick up something at the grocery store. I had no idea how large this thing would be once it was mounted. I do like having a back rest. And the mounting plate itself can be used with a bungee cord/net to carry just a small item, such as a package from the postal station, etc. I already promised my wife some steamed crabs or shrimp from the gulf. I can put an insulated bag in the box that will keep the seafood warm for the hour+ ride home. I think that even a six pack cooler will fit in the box, if I am not mistaken.
I also fixed my Givi topcase behind the passenger ..
I really like your setup, but unfortunately something like that would not work for me. You have a real nice steel mod to mount your box to. Plus my wife (dare I say it?) is not as petite as she was when we married 45 years ago. I doubt there would be enough room in front of the box for her to ride. If she ever decides to ride, I will remove the four bolts to the mounting base to remove it and then the passenger seat will slip right onto the cycle.
The full rear fender from the 600 and 900 will fit on the Rally version. I believe a couple of rivets need to be replaced is about all....besides that, its a bolt-in.
I think I paid about $60+ for it(rear fender) by shopping the Internet. Yes, it requires two rivets and one screw. I had to remove the rear wheel to get to the underside of the fender in order to install it. You have to remove the rear lights also, of course. It is NOT hard, just a learning experience. Of course, in order to remove the original fender, you must drill out the rivets and remove the screw. I found replacement rivets at Ace Hardware, but I am sure Lowes and Home Depot carries the same material. My new fender had holes that lined up with the old mounts. Not hard at all, or I wouldn't be able to do it.
I ride solo (no passenger seat) and have a similar setup... Givi B37 monolock case. Will fit my full face helmet, jacket, gloves when I go into work/store/etc. I have since moved the case back about 3 inches which gives me enough room for a backpack also if I decide to do a long weekend trip.

Simple plate that comes with the Givi case (very similar to the OP's pictures)... Just found placements on the max mount for the bolts to go through. I was able to find slots without having to drill.
I didn't know about this thread. I ordered a Comie case on Friday. Seemed like the best deal on Amazon. I saw that a Ryker owner had mounted one.
I got the 48 liter one.

Reason: 46 L to 48 L.
Is it easier to install the luggage on the max mount before the max mount is installed on the bike? I bought the mount and the luggage, planning on the install this weekend. Just curious what the easiest way would be before I open the boxes.

How did you mount it behind the passenger seat? did you fabricate your own mount? That's been my issue trying to figure out a mount for one behind the passenger seat. I know they sell one that also includes side bags but I don't want all that.
I just ordered the same trunk. My wife rides solo so it's going right on the max mount.
The Comie case has it's own quick mount/ disconnect base. Mount the Comie base to the CanAm base plate, then the Commie
case. Just line up a hole in the CanAm, best you can for the Comie base plate.
Cheap Alternative for luggage
