No worries i did it. Your instructions missed one little point, there is a tiny little retaining clip which needs to be pinched. Unless that is on just mine.


Sorry Andy aye that’s right there’s a wee clip to squeeze, I thought that would be common sense though ;) ha!

Looking good, Ash. :)

What like for noise levels, handling, etc, with the box fitted?




Steve.

Cheers Steve. Can’t notice any deterioration in noise or handling as of yet. Will know for sure when I complete the 700 odd miles trip starting next weekend.

NC500 so far has been an absolute blast, the scenery and drive is incredible. Little home-made awning is holding up nicely too.



Averaging about 38mpg with a fully loaded roof box and the boot packed to the hilt so I’m pretty pleased with that. Haven’t noticed a deterioration in road noise (tunes are always blaring anyways ;)). Can certainly feel the increased weight when navigating hairpins though.
