BikeGear in PE are the SA agents and can answer. Cracklin is a dog on this forum too and can respond here
About time this was made, is needed for the Trax box on anything but tar IMHO.

We should get some feedback from Bikegear next week when they return from their holiday break.

Globescout has the same issue. Waiting for a response from Bikegear.

DaveT, Globescout has already a solution available and you should contact your dealer.

Will the globescout one work with Trax brackets?

As far as I know, they are brand-specific.
There are Trax support brackets available.

Off road + boxes = tears.
Always

not correct.

Many, many riders use TOP boxes off-road - Motorradical, BMW OEM (aluminium boxes), etc.

they have stainless steel racks, with stainless steel bobbins, and are well capable of serious off-road work, when not over-loaded.

Have a customer (and off-road tour operator) who does in excess of off-road 20,000 km per year - no problem whatsoever.

Plastic boxes have no place off-road.
Cheers
Chris

Draadwerk, did you come right with the bracket?
I have one, unused, and could try get it to you from here in the UK.

Hi Dave, no, did not come right. Seems a logistical nightmare however to get it here from the UK?

I'll be in Joburg this week, then again have an option mid July

The bracket of my Trax Top box also started to tear by the holes where the bracket is bolted to the bike. I took the bobbins of the bracket and used the bracket as a template to drill holes in my soft luggage plate to fit the bobbins on witch the topbox secures on. Now I have a sturdy bracket for my top box and a easy conversion if I want to use soft luggage.

That sounds like the way to go. Send pics please.
