I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Class—

Oh I'd love to take the credit for it all but unfortunately that was all done by the former owner who was an engineer by trade and had his own very large lathe in his shed amongst other tools. I was instantly wanting to get rid of the top box completely when I was buying it but I've kinda come round to the practicallity of it. I have taken the extra pillion handles off as I never have a pillion. His wife was very happy with the extra handles and loved being on the back. They were both used to trips to Europe and used this for their last trip to the EU. I am tightening everything up as he did like a soft smooth ride as she was always on the back.

I hope the pics give anyone an idea of a mod for their pillions.

I do like the triangulation on that rack. Givi racks always snap just by the grabrail bolts if overloaded due to a designed in weak spot. I bet that one never will.

Thanks so much @Class— for taking the time to sort out the pics and the descriptions of your bike's pillion handle solution. Much appreciated and has given me some good ideas.
