Mounting bracket sold separately... same brand... i only used the bracket for mounting the box. Only 2  of the included bracket bars were used. The rest, custom made stainless steel.  Bracket is still removable.

Thanks I was wondering if the mount had to be modded since buying ones ready made (bolt on/no mods) for them probably isn't an option. Not sure anyone makes them for the MyRoad 700i.

On the mounts itself, no mods required. The only thing made is the attachment to the bike. The mount is permenantly welded to the attachment so that the box is still removeable from the bike. And as usual, labour is still more expensive than the box and bracket combined. But... yeah.... whatever... im happy with it...

Going for this concept...

That's what I meant modded to fit the bike, thanks. Very cool looking concept and scoot.

This is going on the rear, its going to be lowering the bike. This is to replace the one currently used... one with the small tank.. the small tank is hitting the air filter box..  2 mth used...

What about the front, any suggestion on how to lower it.

I really like the side boxes, I would love to have the extra storage. But it is kind of wide.

Most bikes you can loosen the triple tree clamps and move the forks up then clamping them again assuming there is clearance and nothing hits as the suspension cycles.

Changed new rear absober with tank to a new rear absober without tank. Lowered by 2 inches. Better confortable, i mean really confortable riding position.  Easier to back up, easier during traffic stops. Next thing to do, shorten center stand and side stand.  Cancle the idea to lower front forks. Current position is the best.
