What kind of rack can be fitted onto the standard XT topbox with none or little modifications? Going on a 2500mile trip through Spain and France next week with a mate and ive already filled up the 3 boxes with just my stuff. My girlfriend wants to come with me on a trip on the bike next year so gonna need more storage space for then.

Thanks
David

Hepco Becker makes one but I just bent my own 1/2" tube steel and made my own. You would'nt tell that its home made. If I could download a pic from my phone to the computer I'd show you what it looks like.

Or you can just tell her she cant come cause you need some alone time and see how that goes.

I thinkd I'd skip the top box and go with a sissy bar rig, kind of like this:

Only problem is, that's a lot of weight up high.
