    Hello Skeptic, nice looking bike, I espcially like the Peli box top box. How is it fitted to the rack?

    Hey skeptic, sweet looking bikes, and having just returned from a week in SoCal I know you have the roads, and trails to enjoy them on.

    Box is just bolted to it through to the stock rack. Previous Owner did it. It does not hold much - couple bottles of wine/beer and some snacks. However, with the box as a backstop, I can bungee cord a backpack or something to the back of the bike.

    They both get about 50 mpg US, not imperial.

    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
