New UK Skyteam V-Raptor 250 - Top Box Fitting
The Raptor comes with quite a nice rear rack, very beefy. A top box is really useful, so I got one from eBat for £20 / $30. It is 35 litre size, don't know what that is in non-metric, but you can get 35 litre bottles of beer in there. Alternatively, an open face or full face helmet, gloves and a light jacket.
The fitting kit was included in the price - sometimes the removable plate etc. are an optional extra. Unusually, the mounting plate was metal instead of the usual plastic type. Sharp edges though. I have mounted it but during the winter I will take it off and give it a good coat of Hammerite or similar as the paint on it is very thin. Mounting plate positioned on the rack Rear bracket fitted Other bracket fitted, and a NyLock nut fitted as well. These have been fitted to all of the bolts. I will cut off the extra length but need an open hacksaw to get into the gap as there is not a lot of room. Visit to DIY store booked . . Jeff
