Hi,

I've never been happy with the XR topbox and as I'm (potentially) on the verge of swapping my '15 XR for a '17 version, I'm wondering if there's any way I can fit my old F800GS Vario topbox (and mounting plate) to the XR.

As anyone else attempted this or aware of a plate that would do the job?

Cymarc have a plate for an R1200GS Vario box but having enquired, this won't take a F800 plate.

Soft luggage is an option but the Vario is such a good topbox, it'd be great to be able to utilise it.
 
There are several websites and forums out there showing alternative top boxes fitted to the bike, often requiring some ingenuity, metal work and DIY inventiveness. Draw on these for your inspiration. Nothing is impossible, with sufficient will.
 
I've found a solution for my problem...

I'm swapping the XR for A GS TE Exclusive (with Vario Topbox) next week.

An expensive fix, I know!!
