Re: Alloy boxes on a Varadero
thats a good idea, and shouldnt be very hard the attachments are no problem, just the tucked in at the bottom.
i agree with you, the varadero racks are very neat. beaten by the new aprilia and KTM ones though, you wouldnt know they had luggage fittings

Shaped top loading boxes on the standard rack would be the best of both worlds.

Just incase I have it wrong a photo of the racks without the boxes fitted would be good I've pretty much made up my mind not to go down the non standard racks for the reasons in the above post. A sub rack that say bolts to the Honda rack which then allows standard fit alloy boxes may be a possibility but as I said for 90% of the time the Honda boxes are fine and I don't want to loose them

Re: Alloy boxes on a Varadero
I have fitted ali boxes to my V8 vara by using the touratec metal hoops which are available at about £20 each. I already had the panniers with the original mounting kit fitted. I then made some brackets, which I welded onto the hoops. Then bolted the hoops onto the original Honda racks. I must admit the hoops are not the best looking part of the bike but they do give good protection.
