[Refitting DIY] "Box" is late: put it back into the tail box, and the carrying capacity will be greatly improved!

2022-09-21

The freedom and unrestrained feeling of driving a motorcycle is believed to be a major reason why many riders are attracted to learn and drive. However, the feeling of lightness and freedom is exchanged for a very limited cargo capacity. Not to mention the delivery of goods, sometimes it is not so easy to transport several takeaway lunch boxes home. Installing a trunk may be the best of both worlds. It not only allows you to carry more items, but also has functions other than cargo. The feeling of lightness and freedom is still there, which can be said to have many benefits. If you are still hesitating whether to add a trunk, remember to read on and feel the benefits of the trunk!

Add cargo space and improve rear seat comfort

Many knights are accustomed to carrying all kinds of equipment and items with them, such as helmets, shackles, locks, gloves, and even raincoats. It is not easy to drive with it. The trunk can be put to great use at this time. Some tools that need to be followed for a long time but not necessarily used frequently, such as disc locks or car locks, can be put into the trunk without making extra room for the rucksack. In addition, some spare car repair tools, such as hexagonal keys, etc., can also be kept in the trunk for a rainy day. As for the rucksack or handbag that is usually carried, it can also be put into the trunk when driving, which reduces the burden on the rider and makes it easier to control the vehicle. Even in summer, the back will not be sweated by the rucksack.

There is another unexpected benefit of installing a boot, which can only be felt when riding in pairs. Many people dare not sit on the back seat of a motorcycle. In addition to worrying that the "leather-covered iron" is not safe enough, many people also consider the issue of comfort. They think that the seat of a motorcycle has no backrest and it is difficult to balance; The back seat is small and uncomfortable to sit on. The boot acts as a rear seat backrest, allowing rear passengers to sit comfortably against the boot. Therefore, if there are often riders who need to ride double, you can consider adding a tail box to make your rear seat passengers more comfortable.

The plastic box is light and cheap, the aluminum box is hard and clean, and the appearance is attractive

Tail boxes are mainly divided into two categories: plastic boxes and aluminum boxes, both of which have their own advantages. Let’s talk about the plastic box first. Its biggest feature is that it is lightweight and does not bring too much extra load to the vehicle. Some plastic boxes are equipped with a quick-release design to facilitate the removal of the entire plastic box when needed. But the price of lightness is that it is relatively fragile. If the car falls, unfortunately, there is a chance that the outer shell of the plastic box will be broken. Since the tail box is made of plastic, the cost is relatively low, and the price is relatively cheap. Generally, there are transactions of more than a thousand yuan.

As for the aluminum box, it is made of metal and has strong rigidity. Its square shape also attracts many knights to start with. However, the aluminum box is relatively heavy, and the original weight of the vehicle may be changed after installation. It may take a little time for the rider to get used to it after installation. In addition, the price of aluminum boxes is relatively expensive, and the price is generally more than 3,000 yuan.

Depending on the needs, choose the capacity to install a large tail box and take care of the car.

Capacity is also one of the factors to consider when purchasing a trunk. Considering the cargo capacity alone, the larger the capacity, the better. The largest tail box capacity can be as high as 60 liters. The helmet takes up the most space in the trunk. Cavaliers can consider whether they often have the need for dual riding. Some large-capacity trunks can accommodate a full helmet and an open-face helmet at the same time, which is especially suitable for brothers and sisters who ride dually. However, the greater the capacity of the trunk, the greater the load and the space occupied on the left and right sides will increase accordingly. Cavaliers should pay more attention especially when taking pictures.

After installing the tail box, the rider can also install different accessories inside and outside the tail box according to his personal habits. It is more convenient to place different types of items by installing a waterproof bag and an inner net inside the box.

The bottom plate of the bracket must match the model. It is recommended to be installed by a garage master

In addition, the car owner must also match different types of brackets and floor plates according to the model to ensure that the trunk is firmly installed. The safest way is of course to let the garage master do it for you. Helmet King has KAPPA tail boxes of different styles and capacities available for purchase. It is recommended that riders go to the store to see the real thing, try to put the helmet in the tail box, compare which size is most suitable for you, and then buy it. Our car Master Fang installed it on his behalf.
