The Tool Boxes have been going out over the past week

I realized I didn't post the pricing yet.

The first run is black powder coat only and available in two options:

Key Lock $145.99 CAD
Slot Lock $135.99 CAD

Both lock mechanisms are sealed and the key lock also comes with a plastic cover to further protect it.

They are fully TIG welded and well sealed at the door. We're not calling them 100% waterproof though.

Quite tough too! My personal one has been crashed a few times and has the gouges and dings to prove it. Still functions perfectly and has never missed a beat.

Comes with full stainless steel hardware and stainless steel rubber bonded sealing washers to mount it. As mentioned before they can likely be mounted on other brands of skid plates (flat front only). You should do some measurements and perhaps make a mock up to test around the block for clearance under full compression of the forks. Depending on the skid plate the height it's mounted at can also affect that.
Changing the hardware as needed is easy since they use 1/4" carriage bolts to mount so they are readily available in different lengths.

They can also be mounted in other spots (like inside the rear rack) but you're on your own for how to do that for now.

I'll post pics as I get them.

Still catching on on the back-orders...

Please ask away if you have any questions.

Thanks very much!

Dave

Good news and bad news Dave. First the good news, received the Toolbox and mounted it this morning following the recommended method. LOVE IT! My Advdesigns kit fit in there perfect. Now to figure out what irons will fit in there also.

Excuse the background on the first picture, the only thing I had to rest it on was the Edsel.

Now the bad news. My wife is on to us. Her exact quote was "what did you buy from that bastard Dave this time."

Manventure screwed with this post Yesterday at 10:56 AM Reason: Wrong Photo

Thanks Manventure!!

As for the bad news, well as you've said you have the whole collection so I have nothing left to sell you

...for now...

Glad it mounted up perfectly (as it should/better!) and to hear you Advdesigns kit fit in there perfect too!

Edsel eh?

Thanks again!

We just got a pic of a newly set up F800 GS Triple Black with our V2 Skid Plate and Tool Box (and Top Rack but you can't see it in this pic) and it looks awesome!!

Thanks Sonny!!

We weren't sure whether our Tool Box was going to jive when mounted on our V2 skid plate with Wild @ Heart engine bars...It does!!

Because their bars come out so far to the front I thought it may block the from door opening but you can open it and just push it over a bit and...no problem!

Thanks RedHed!!

Hey MonsterJ!

Yes they are in (low) stock. Both lock systems available and pricing as listed above.

Are you running a MOD Skid Plate?

Thanks!

Our parts are going to be on display at the Euro Moto Show March 2-3 in Lynnwood, WA at the TourUSA booth!

This a great opportunity to go to check out our parts in real life if you've always been curious to see what they look like and specifically if you wanted to size up the Tool Box. They'll have our V3 skid plate, tool box, top rack and side stand foot on a F800 GS:

Details on the show:

Looks like a great show too! Lot's of interesting stuff for us inmates.

Tour USA in case you didn't know does motorcycle rentals (read adventure bikes

) and tours in the PNW.

http://www.tourusa.us/

I plan to be there myself as well on one of the two days...yet to be confirmed but probably Sunday. Just look for the busted up F800 GS outside

Hope to see you there!

BTW we are almost out of the Tool Boxes again and they will undoubtedly be out of stock for a while so be fairly quick if you want one.

Thanks!

Dave
