Customacces top cases

A custom motorcycle top box lets you carry a waterproof, a lock or the shopping without losing the classic look of the bike. Customacces makes two, both in ABS and with their brackets included:

• Travel 43 L: the large one, for touring; it comes with model-specific brackets, a luggage rack and a passenger backrest.
• Mercedes 25 L: more compact, for everyday use. Its red rear lenses are also sold separately, left and right, in case one breaks.

Quick-release or fixed brackets

This section also has Customacces brackets for specific bikes, in chrome or black. The quick-release ones (SS) come off without tools thanks to locating pins, so you can remove the luggage and leave the bike clean when you are not touring. The fixed ones (SB and SM) are bolted on and only come off by unbolting them. There are versions for the Honda Shadow VT 750, Kawasaki VN 900, Yamaha XVS950A Midnight Star, Sportster, Rebel 500, Hyosung GV650 Aquila and Triumph America.

Before loading up, check from behind that the box does not hide the tail light or number plate. For more space, add a pair of Customacces saddlebags; our guide to top boxes, side cases and brackets from every brand is in motorcycle luggage, and everything else the brand makes is under Customacces.
