Top Boxes?

Have a CB250 Nighthawk

Looking to get a largish top box for the bike,

Any ideas where to start looking?

Bike doesnt appear to have anywhere to fix onto the rear, it is pretty much the same as this picture except white wheels.

Thanks if anyone can help, Karma will be given Karma

you need to get a rack and then a top box and mount plate to fit that rack.

Try visiting the Givi website it might have something

I don't know if Renntec ever did a rack for that model.

Also checkout M&P for cheap top boxes and base plates

I'd go for the rack first.

Then it depends on what kind of box you want, a nice snazzy new removeable one with a mounting plate. Or a old fashioned plastic box then is bolted to the bike?

The latter option is by far the easiest to mount onto a rack by way of a few wooden battens some bolts and a drill!

Look around on ebay might get lucky and find a rack or one that is compatible.

obviously ruins the seat, but im sure i saw someone somewhere with a top box bolts through the seat.. lol

Brother has same bike as you, he has a givi top box on a givi rack.
I'll ask him where he bought it, but ive never looked where it mounts Embarassed
