Happy October! Seasonal decor for the bike.

Haven't had much time to ride recently but took the 125 out for the day. Stopped by one of our nature trails (nice gravel road to get there, but not allowed to ride on the trail) and snapped a pic. I used a camera mount and a 1/4-20 nut to bolt on a pumpkin pail. The skeleton buddy is secured at the waist to allow the arms and legs to flap around in the wind as I'm riding. The garland helps to hide the camera mount. It gets lots of smiles and thumbs up as I putt around town. Might have to keep it up for other holidays.

I love the decorations!

If you don’t mind me asking, what type of top box and where did you get it?

OMOCAS 65L Motorcycle Top Case​

Thanks! It's from Amazon. At almost $200, it was more than I wanted to spend, but it was the larger model. It has a lockable latch and a locking quick disconnect plate in case I want to take the box with me while parked. I installed that plate on a rear extension rack to leave more of the stock rack open. It has enough storage for me to store my riding jacket, gloves and 3/4 helmet all on top of my road-side stuff. I have a tool roll, numerous lights and camera mounting gear, and a range of tie-down options all stored in that box.

The width of it installed almost matches the handlebars, so the two times I've dropped the bike, the box actually took the brunt of the impact and kept the bike up off my leg in one of the falls.

Do you have a picture of it from the back side of the bike? I'd like to see how that looks, width wise.

Thanks. Looks large, and extremely functional. Aside from the cost which you mentioned, is there anything you don't like about it?

Only two MINOR gripes. 1)The hinge is kinda springy, so when you undo the latch you have to press down on the lid to remove the latch. Nice safety feature, but when my hands are full, its a bit cumbersome. 2) The two pockets in the lid are practically useless. Nothing I've put there has stayed in its spot with the exception of a backup pocket knife that has a tight clip on it.

Otherwise, I've been very pleased with it so far.
