This is mostly a handling thing, but Honda says what Honda says. The rack weight "guidelines" are set at 20 kg or 44 lbs. Something to be mindful of is the collective weight of all the gear. So for that reason, I'd try to find something with a latch.Īs always, there's the ye olde apple crate, or something you can fabricate yourself, but with the price of cedar these days that might end up being a little more costly. The biggest problem I found is that you might need to have some lid retention, otherwise the lid can bump loose (it's friction fit). These are usually pretty cheap, but I've been using one of these for years and it works great. If you're not picky and you like the idea of something collapsing, Costco or equivalent often sell Greenmade, Clevermade, etc. I don't know how accessible the underside of the rack is, but anything can be quick release through the use of wingnuts, if you get my drift. It's even still within the color scheme of the bike. If you're looking for something more standard and budget friendly, you can have the exact same thing without the quick release from Amazon for around $20. You can get the crates from Home Depot though. Of course, you lose the ability to have your stuff be waterproof because it's a crate, and you still need something like a cargo net to stop stuff from flying out while you're getting sick air from all those jumps you're going over. Being the packout system, you can hot swap it if you already own Milwaukee stuff. The biggest advantage to something like this is with the power of an electric drill, the ability to mod the ever living shit out of it and start attaching a billion things is yours. Or if you're thinking extra fuel, the extra 1" lip on the base could provide some additional support to mount a Rotopax 2G (18.5 x 14 x 3 inches) to the side of the the crate while still supporting it. This would work well if you're a slightly taller person, would give you a little clearance behind your bum. The Milwaukee Packout (rigid) Crate is 15.3 x 18.7" x 9", so the same width but slightly shorter and most importantly, in the right color.
Let's face it though - if you're submarining the bike so far that your holes are letting in water, you probably have bigger problems. Also with the fact that it has a mount, you will have a true waterproof solution, as opposed to a mostly waterproof solution. The guy that had one of these already had the Milwaukee stuff, so he was using what he had. That has a QR interlocking system so technically you could bolt another one to the top of it.
