In Greece, just about 99.999% of old geezers living in villages have a milk crate strapped to the back of their 30-yo underbone motorcycle (Yamaha Town Mate, Honda Cub, GLX etc.) which of course they ride with no license whatsoever

I found this while searching:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WV7TW42...ing=UTF8&psc=1 Has anyone bought and installed this set? I'm wondering if they'd work on my TT250.

In Australia they took the improvised luggage to the extreme and made it standard government issue.

Yes the Postie CT110... I Hope to find a project worthy example eventually after I get the XL229 on the road. Not so much a fan of the newer current issue NBC110 but even those might be getting replaced by Auspost with E-trikes... Some of you might enjoy this YT Channel. |

Thinking with 2 crates you could turn 1 upside down cut out an saddle and wheel arch for side racks then mount the other crate on top. Having 2 crates also gives you a table and chair at camp... Anyway a drink holder on saddle bags is a worthy addition. |

Soft bag & Luggage Rack
I have the same interest to use a softbag with a luggage rack. I like soft bags but had one melt on the exhaust.
I looked all over and could not find a rack system to buy. I was planning to build my own and was trying to find a design that looked good. I stumbled across these photos and although it is a commercial part it seems to not be available in the US. The design is simple enough and I will be bending some conduit this weekend to make them. I am using these join the parts together. https://makerpipe.com/collections/mo...ts/t-connector I hope the photos help someone else and I will post my output when it is done. |

There are some on Amazon that look close to fitting but to try it cost is $150.00 plus $25.00 shipping. I contacted a welder to see what it would cost to build just the rectangle section and got a quote for $110.00, with material $12.00 worth of pipe. If I had a welder and a pipe bender might be worth a try, but when you factor in the cost of the welder and finding the time to do the work. The cheapest material is electrical conduit but is galvanized so welding is nasty as the gas is poisonous. This guy did a great job for the money with conduit.
