My solution for larger top case with passenger seat

[bcraig]

Bracket is made from 1.5"x1.5"x1/8" aluminum and attached to the bottom of the MAX Mount utilizing the existing 4 unused attachment points. The Top Case is this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GZLBPNM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Brain dead simple... thanks for sharing .

Any pics with it sitting outside? Would like to see how it looks with that case hanging so far behind... hard to see in these pictures.
Side-view please .

Thanks! - Looks pretty good.

I might steal your idea :doorag:

One thing I'm monitoring is how close the bracket comes to the fender with a passenger.

Good call on that!

Great job, looks fantastic. Did you make the washers or buy something?

 

[greckman]

How is it with case loaded and passenger ? Does it sag down much?
What length did you make the alum angle?

Just washers I had.

1. With just helmets and a jacket in the case there is no sagging.
2. Haven't had a passenger yet.
3. Brackets are 22.5 inches long.

What top cases will it work with? Is it universal?

Since it's home made it will work with what ever you make it for.

Could I contact you to make me one? I will pay you of course.

To quote Robert Burns "The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry". Here is a picture of the distance between the bracket and fender with me seated on the bike (130 lbs) and a neighbor (100 lbs). Much to close, so back to Home Depot to figure out something else.

I really wouldn't be comfortable making a bracket for someone else. Sorry.
In any case the current bracket isn't going to work out. See my latest post with picture.

You could put a stiffer rear spring and or stiffer adj. shock. cueman

You might want to try box tubing. Might be able to go with a smaller diameter

I was looking at that at Home Depot as well shelving hardware which is "[" shape, but a heat steel.
