Any troubles ever, getting the Duplicolor bedliner to dry and not stay soft?

Tried some on a skid plate, seems it never drys!

Any tips appreciated.

I think the trick is to avoid a thick coat. I put a few thin coats on and it seems ok, dry to the touch, doesn't scrape off. But until we get some miles and dirt involved, it's a bit of an experiment. The guy who started this trend has had good results, I don't claim this as my idea, just copied his paint choice...

Glad you like it, that's what makes building these toolboxes worth doing.

Bump!

For a great product. Installed mine a little over a month and 2600 miles ago. Works GREAT!

I have a box that came back for a new mounting plate. Beefed up mounting plate, painted black, ready to go.
$110 including shipping in USA. Only has 1 key. Regular price, with shipping, paypal and box is $139.

Also have standard aluminum boxes made up and ready to ship, $139, delivered.

Now have mounts adapted to the Zega pannier frame too.

Hi Dave, PayPal sent your way for one Black Box please!!!!!

Thx, ADV Fool

I have boxes ready to ship for the next week, then I'm shutting down for December to go ride someplace warm. Boxes will be shipping again after the first of the year.

Thanks for all those who have bought, or looked at the toolboxes. I'm gratified by your response.

Very quick service, nice product. Time to install and ride!!!!!!

Product looks good Dave, and rightly priced............too bad I don't own/ride a Beemer. I think you are on to something. Many KLR/Vstrom folks buy/build a round tool tube and secure it to their rear racks. Much unused space remains in the "hole" where the tool tube resides. An "oblong/rectangular/weird-shaped" flat sided tool box might be a welcome addition where more space could be utilized?? Maybe something for you to check into after the Holidays??? Seems you have had a very positive response here already.........why not expand your product (maybe even to "custom" shapes)??
