Bargain topcase
Great buy from Twisted Throttle! Coocase S28 Vivo basic. It's on close out, marked down to $34.69! I just put one on my 2012, mounted on an Alu-rack. I love it. Fit's my Lg Shoei Qwest helmet. I opted for the adaptor plate specifically made for the rack, an additional $39.99. I didn't use the universal mount that comes with the case, but it would have worked just as well.

Accumack, here's the link: http://www.twistedthrottle.com/sw-mo...i-ninja-250-08 It's an easy install. The rack is small, but perfect for a topcase. An elargement plate that attaches to the rack specifically made to hold soft luggage is also available through Twisted Throttle.

Ready to do some traveling! My next project is to mount a pair of Pelican Storm IM2100 cases as saddlebags. These are quite a bit smaller than those you'll see on adventure bikes, about 25 liters combined capacity. I have a pretty good idea on how to build a slick mounting system which will allow the cases to be easily removeable, yet will lock to the bike. The IM2100 cases are more in proportion to the bike than their other models. The smaller size will make them less likely to be affected by exhaust heat too. I'll make a heat shield for the right side case if neccessary.

Wonder if you could fab that plate to mount on a spare rear seat or something. a $144 rack kinda kills the budget lol, although your setup looks awesome and secure

The rack is now $169.99 Sharky, and is well worth it, as I can still carry a pasenger and gear. The rack will also be instrumental in mounting a pair of small IM2100 Pelican cases as saddlebags since the bike's frame is covered with the body panels. I've designed a slick set-up to attach them. They'll be removeable, yet lock to the bike. Now I have to save up some bucks to purchase them, and fabricate the mounts.

^^ I bet, just I doubt I will be running hardcases and do not carry a passenger on the ninjette so gotta find a bit cheaper setup for mounting the case lol

I have the AluRack and the 37l Coocase (with lights).
Very worth the time, as it's very stable, provides some more visibility (higher brakelights) and locking storage cannot be overrated. |

I have used milk crate as top box for my rides, carried over 40+ lb. of books/clothes/tools, etc.. non-skid pad & bungee cords are plenty secure for my daily commute.

Old-ish topic, but I'm interested in doing the milk crate thing too with my new-gen Ninja, which doesn't have mounting points right underneath the seat like your older Ninja does. How do you secure the back of the crate on your SV? Also, is that white bungee cable that's attached to your passenger pegs bracket one cable or two cables?

I put a ($1.00) carpet non-skid pad from the dollar store between the milk crate and passenger seat, single bungee between the passenger pegs, another bungee looped around the passenger handle to the rear of the milk crate.
Good thing about the milk crate is there are lots of holes to loop the bungee through, spread some space between the looping to achieve stability from side to side of attachment points. Easily mounted securely among different vehicles. |

Non-skid pad works well, the heavier the load you have in the milk crate, the better it grips onto the passenger seat.. at $1.00, you can't really go wrong.
