Anyone bought this:

And put it on a GIVI Monokey Rack?

Does it fit?

I googled this, and it looks like "FASTLARRY FAQ" might have info, but the website is down.

$60 for medium, $80 for large.

Hot chicks dig dudes with big ole' boxes strapped to the back of their machines.

Milk crate is still in the running.

I'm still waiting for a Bandit w/ milk create to show up on Pinks. Maybe taller shield and bar risers too,and kick ass on a V-Rod or something.

So do you think those would work as side cases? The larger ones from JCWhitney?

Looks like the ones you posted pics of come with a mounting bracket that attaches to a luggage rack. You wouldn't want to use them on a OEM B12 luggage rack for a 2G as they're only rated to carry ~5lbs. There are racks out there that can carry more. Look for one that mounts in more locations than just the grab rail.

If this is for a 1G, I don't know as much about their luggage rack details.

As for using them as side cases, I guess you could, but you'd probably need to figure out your own mounting.

There's some other options on eBay with similar mounting systems.

Here's one style

Here's another style

This one looks a lot like the one you posted pics of

Thanks Paul,
I was getting ready to say.. Someone has posted this almost identical item as an item they bought on ebay.. Can't remember who it was now, been a while ago.... See if I can find it, if I do I'll drop a lonk to the post.....

EDIT: Struck out on the post search...

but here's a link to a search all ebay "Motorcycle Top case"
CLICK THIS LINK: 35 items found.
http://motors.search.ebay.com/?from=R40&satitle=MOTORCYCLE+TOP+CASE

The cheapest was $60 which included shipping.

The most was $120 which included shipping...
Looks like it has a passenger seat back...

Thanks for the addtl eBay hits.

The JC Whitney / eBay brother have to be the same case.

The ebay photos actually had a better closeup on the mounting bracket, and it's EXTREMELY similar looking to my Givi MONOKEY rack I have installed now.

I have a Givi trunk but I am soooo gonna make saddlebags out of the jc whitney bags. The money I'll save will pay for my gas for the summer...OK...maybe a month but you get the idea

I think I can make up a mounting no problem and this would make fairly inexpensive side cases.
