Great work, thanks for sharing. Using info from your video and others I managed to plug the connector for the USB without removing the side fairing. I just used a screwdriver to unhook the connector and some pliers to pull it out. Not an easy job because you have to fit both your hands between the fork arm and the fairing, but can be done. Afterwards I fitted the wires in the connector in the right position and just pushed it in with one hand. Ride safely!

It is about one year ago I find this videos. Your englisch is really good to understand. I am searching just this rack from Aliexpress. 16 kg is more then enough. But I did not find it on Aliexpress. May I get orderinformations please? Thank you very much

Hello, as I mentioned in one of my videos (maybe part 2?), 16kg is the seller's statement, in the AliExpress message to my question. AliExpress stuff usually doesn't have technical specifications, this is also true. I have strong doubts whether it can withstand a dynamic load of 16 kg permanently. I wouldn't count on more than 8-10kg. The STEEL bracket (not aluminum!) can withstand such a load, as my tests have confirmed.

If you are on a budget and you are happy with a maximum 8kg capacity (inculding your top box), get the chinese rack, the one made of STEEL . If you are not on budget/need bigger capacity go with the SW-Motech. The SW-Motech is my preferred rack , you will see soon in a new video why 😉

hi i have watched your 2 videos a number of times. it seems you have installed the new steel brackets and there holding up ok good. I have also ordered the rack too for my Honda cb500f, the brackets that i will receive are stainless steel. Are your new brackets steel or stainless steel ?
@twofeetonthepegs
8 ай бұрын
Onestly...I do not know. It was/is painted on black, so I cannot determine visually. According to the vendor it is steel :-) . 1020 Steel or 4140 , or other? I just hope it's 4140 or 4340 as it has higher fatigue strength compared to the 1020. They do not specify the grade and this a usual problem with Chinese products. Or if they do, it is not reliable... I guess even in your case the "specification" says sainless steel :-). But what grade? 303, 304, 316, 310 or 321 ?
@cameronshine3465

As far as the grade 303, 304, 316, 310 or 321 he did not say, i think there grades would be close to each other as far as strength is. I only know about the 304 grade and 316 grade as i have some of these grades for making whiskey at home. @@twofeetonthepegs

BTW, right now I have downloaded "The SHAD Top Master fitting" HOCX56ST technical specs (REF. 500479 Edición 1ª) and is missing key information: loading capacity :-) . In case of a Chinese product I would not be surprised of this, but in case of a European brand/design this is a huge miss....

@@twofeetonthepegs Well you are right about loading capacity. However Shad brackets use the passenger peg mounts so there is more support and stability for the box. All of the other brackets I looked at just mount onto the grab rail mounts so all the weight is on the rear subframe, so logically it should be more stable :)

@twofeetonthepegs
Жыл бұрын
It broke on the dirt road at ~20-25 km/h (~15mph)...but according to material science, that was a longer process. The brackets are subjected to cyclic loading (vibrations) and the material fatigue is a longer process. These brackets are made of "simple" aluminum...they should be made of special aluminum alloy (used in aircrafts for instance) or steel, calculation should be made and finally should be tested. The bottom line is that these aluminum brackets are not good, they were not tested by manufacturer/seller. (It should be mentioned, that this seller was fair, and sent me free, new replacement brackets made of steel)
