Best way to mount a box on the back?

I'm ordering this. Can't remember who told me where to buy them but I love them! Anyhow, looking for suggestions before I head to the hardware store. I'll drill a couple of holes in the top to attach a couple of bungee cords.

Carriers and baskets for the rear rack recommendations

I was thinking of buying one of these, if I can ever find one, just wondering what bags/baskets/carriers/panniers that people are using on the rear rack. If I bought one of these I would like to be able to easily use it to a little bit of running errands, or maybe going to a park and bringing...

Givi Trekker Outback Mounted!

I mounted my 58L Givi Trekker Outback case today. I love this box for a number of reasons and decided to mount it up. The mounting location I chose was on purpose, while I know it's rather rearward I wanted the front of the rack available to strap dry bags or other items. In order to make...

Givi Trekker Outback 58 Liter Monokey Top Case and mount

I decided to upgrade from the cheap 46L collapsible Instacrate from Costco and move to a weatherproof and locking top case. There are some no-name options designed to be used as top cases that you can find on sites like Aliexpress, eBay, or Amazon for cheaper, but I've had good luck with Givi...

Show me your Tail (bags)

Let's put together a showing of everyone's tailbags, milk crates, hard luggage bags you're putting on the cargo rack. I'm looking at a few on Amazon, but not ready to pull the trigger. Leaning towards one of the Nelson-Riggs bags or may just cheap out and buy some generic one. There's one...

Folding Crate

Easiest part of today's project, medium Big Ant folding crate. I added some screw on rubber feet to the bottom to protect the paint and am planning on riding with a bungee net over the top to keep the crate folded up.

Milk Crates + Lid Idea.

My crates from Farmplast (who inexplicably does business from milkcrates1.com, probably a victim of domain name squatting) arrived unscathed and ready to mount. I have access to a vertical mill, lathe, welder, and lots of other stuff. Thought about making some standoffs and maybe have a...

I just bought a Milwaukee pack out toolbox (48-22-8425), cost $77.00. It is the same size as the rack, locks,is waterproof, and it is red! I couldn't even buy the material to build a box for that price. Will mount and get a picture in couple days.

Hi, Great choice. I went bigger and used a Milwaukee PackOut XL toolbox. Milwaukee Packout X-Large Tool Box — 16 1/4in.L x 22in.W x 17in.H, Model# 48-22-8429 plus a Milwaukee Packout mounting plate 48-22-8485. Use large wire ties to secure the mounting plate to the rack. No screws, washers, nuts, etc. The Packout latch system makes it very easy to install and remove the big or small tool box. Your smaller tool box can fasten to either the rack and or to the big tool box. You can also secure more items as needed including a ROTOPAX Gas Tank using the web strap latch slots.

I could not find this Packout mounting plate at Amazon and the nearby NH Home Depots were out of stock, so I ordered it from Northern Tool co. I used my discounts for free S&H.
The advantage of using this $30 mounting plate is to be able to use the Pack Out securing latch which keeps your tool box free from having mounting holes drilled into it. This keeps the box insides dry. Looking at the following picture, you can see a wide variety of ways to mount the plate: lots of holes, steel rods, slots and the reinforced pack out clamp section.

I like how the big ant crate fits with the motolord seat. Folds down too!

I’m pleased with my folding square crate. I can bungee large items on top of it collapsed.

Can't go wrong with the Big Ant folding crate and some zip ties.
