Guest Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I have just bought my first motorbike (keeway rkv 125cc motorbike). If I buy a top box online from ebay for example, would I have to also have to buy a plate to fix the top box on? Can anyone who lives in Milton Keynes or nearby help me install a top box onto my bike? (I am not very good at doing handy work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b19_monty Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 If you already have a sports rack fitted on the bike then all you will need to buy is a topb box as most will har the fixing plate but read the product description first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGD217 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hi Bud, Just had a quick google of your bike and it looks like you would need a rack for the topbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 How much are 30l top boxes generally, the best price including the mounting rack I have seen is just under £30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b19_monty Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 That will be the mounting base plate. Youll still need a rack for the bike companies like renntec should have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamytimeEscorts Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Most top-boxes come with a plate so you can lock it to the bike or remove it but you'll need a rack to secure the plate to.If you're hard-up, you can bungee the plate to the back if your bike but this will probably damage the paintwork after a while.

Guest Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 My bike (keeway rkv 125cc) has a rack on the back already as it comes with the bike. I would post a photo here but I'm not sure how, have a look at keeway rkv 125cc google images pictures if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamytimeEscorts Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Attach the plate to the rack with the fittings the top box came with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
