You kinda get lulled into a false sense of security...

Don't care if it's damaged - I want to bolt luggage to it. What you got? |

Not that I can help you, but for information the seats are the same for the 1125 and the Firebolt (XB9R and XB12R). |

For reference, the 1125 rear seat part number is M0091.02A8, and the latest price from Jersey HD - http://www.jerseyh-d.com/products/19242 ... plete.aspx but you will need to add on carriage. |

That is really quite cheap... I bet Black Bear will match it... |

Really does make me wonder about some of the prices on a well know internet auction site! And gives me a bit of a bargaining chip - although for 40 quid I may as well just buy a new one thanks again SM |

TBH I reckon you could make something up yourself if you're a little bit handy ... ...and I wouldn't trust something bolted to a standard plastic seat base. |

I've bolted a box to a number of pillion pads without any problem - and actually can't envisage any problems (unless you are stupid enough to overload it). They are designed to take a pillion - even a child is a good deal heavier than a top box. I agree I'd rather fabricate a proper base but ...... |

Anvil made a tack that fitted to the seat base. Have a search through his posts for pictures. |

Yep but a passenger is not bolted to the seat base ,the passenger is free to move around on it and their weight is supported on footrests . With a luggage box bolted to it all it's weight and cornering forces will be pulling at the seat latch  The seat is for a person to rest on .......not to hold them onto the bike

Anyway, I've done it before, I'll do it again and even if it flies off I will not admit I'm wrong
