Making a Motorcycle Luggage Box

[@motophoenix5951]

Good idea for that space under the rack and it is well made too. Thanks for taking the time and posting it.

Thats awseome! Looks great on the bike.

[@thekidmichael13]

WOW that's soooooo aesthetically pleasing to look at. It REALLY complements the bikes curves with those sharp edges

[@saumyadeepmahata9757]

Great brain work

[@Majorvideonut2]

Good idea and I found your video by search. I am thinking of some way to do the same. I have material bags that are coming apart and not too long will have to be replaced.

[@pinkkyshaw766]

Can I buy one..

[@SR71BBFLYER]

Nice work! Looks like a form of GatorFoam or FomeX. I was thinking why not spray it with a bit of Acrylic Clear Coat to give it a bit more rain resistance?

[@chunkeeone8408]

Well done!

[@kraftybeard4272]

Thanks Chunkee!

[@mikeyd3md]

YTMND. Good work. Do I have to wear flip flops too or can I do it in my ordinary work boots?

[@SportyRider]

where'd you get that top box? I think it's the one I've been eyeing on amazon - thanks!

[@kraftybeard4272]

It's a Givi E45, really useful size without being too big on the bike and can be used as panniers too. I bought it second hand on ebay, I think they have been discontinued now unfortunately.

[@robtait9735]

What kind of glue are you using please.? I really like this box. Thanks for the video

[@kraftybeard4272]

I used an adhesive that's intended for bonding car windscreens in. It's similar to silicon but requires a special primer to adhere properly. Incredibly strong stuff. There's more details about the build and materials in the video description 👍

[@percivaljackson4591]

What are the materials that you used

[@xlfive]

Nice work pal ,what material is it made from

[@kraftybeard4272]

Thanks Gaz! It's made from high density PVC foam board (Foamex) I rescued from old shop signage. It's great stuff! Really strong and easy to work with

[@nyetloki]

What's the thing in the vice at 9m55s?

[@kraftybeard4272]

That's the lock body, just using it as a guide for how much I needed to grind off the bolts and T-nuts. Thanks for watching :)

[@MrUniversalone]

Mainly UPVC

[@λάδα]

Why used PVC , a weak material?

[@kraftybeard4272]

I used pvc because I got it for free (bonus!), it's waterproof, lightweight and easy to work with. You would be surprised how robust it is! The pvc board is 3mm thick it's actually incredibly strong and the reinforced box structure makes it very sturdy. Think how flimsy cardboard is before folded into a box 😉

[@metzg3rdapro137]

And what can you carry in it, with those two screws? Some paper towels or butterflies? Lame.

[@kraftybeard4272]

mEtzG3r DaPro If you read the description you would see I built it to carry my waterproofs (hardly a bowling ball), pretty useful when riding all year round in England and needing to carry other things in the topbox. Two years on and the box is still in use and still going strong with no issues at all. Cheers then.
