Title: Top Box Luggage Rack
Post by: Williamson on September 05, 2025, 08:37:27 PM
I've been asked a few times about the rack on my ST1300 top box.  It's not for sale, as if removed it would some obvious holes in the top box lid.  But this very similar looking rack popped up in my Facebook feed.

At $58, it's a bargain.

Looks like the rack on my goldwing.

It must have been too much of a bargain as the price is showing $83.13... :o

I just looked at the measurements, I reckon it may be a bit big for the ST top box...  :think1

Cost for me $58, may be because I have an account.

Measurements - overall, or hole to hole?

I'll check hole to hole on mine in the morning.

I have a Temu account too so no idea why the price difference...Maybe you buy more?  :grin

It will be interesting to see how the mounting points compare to your rack.
At 51cm, the rack just seems a bit too wide, nearly as wide as the total width of the top box.   :think1

Just found what appears to be the same rack on AliExpress: https://tinyurl.com/538vy663 or if you'd like a chrome one: https://tinyurl.com/4z749zdh

Yes, looks the same, and at an even better price, although my experience with AliExpress is not as good as that with Temu.

I purchased an $85 aluminium top box, plus $22 delivery, from AliExpress.  A parcel arrived pretty quickly, but it was not what I ordered, it was NOT aluminium (it is just some sort of composite plastic material).  Complaint made, and processed swiftly, received a refund less delivery.

I now have a top box for $22, probably not too bad.  If it lasts what, five or 10 years?  Perhaps someone can remind me to post a report in 2030 and 2035.

I suppose others have had better experiences with AliExpress.

How'd you go with your measuring, Michael?
