    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Found a topcase...

...to work with my backrest/luggage rack.

Even comes with a fake antenna...:D

Maybe to hang out the laundry? Or stick a flag on. There's no wire attached to it, so I can't use it for a radio.
 
Where can I find one?

Where can I find one?

I have one of those backrests with the fold down rack too. Been watching for a topcase that will open like that.

Can you share details of "make, model, source, vintage, etc"?
 
They do have another model that comes in black (and the blue that was also missing).

That one hinges at the front, and I get the feeling that's not what you are looking for. :-k

.


That's right... if the seam is at the midpoint and opens up like a clam shell, hinged in the front, the backrest interferes with it. Most of the topboxes are designed to attach to a rear rack without the backrest (notice I never say sissy bar :-\\\)

I think an old Vetter unit might work. I kinda like these old UJM's fully dressed but I'm not too keen on the look with just the Vetter box alone.

The rack that I and ddaniels have is different than most in that the rack adjusts up and down where most have a backrest that's adjustable back and forth.
 
You meant to say the rack folds up against the back of the backrest if you want it out of the way right? Mine's not adjustable any other way as far as I know.
