Has anyone bolted the x500 on to the luggage rack?

I guess you could but it is so tall that the wind might rip it off the bolts. Especially with the roll pack on the top. My wife and I just strapped it down to the back rest and rack.

It doesn't have bolt holes, it has ties on the bottom. I tied mine to the sissy bar with it sitting on the luggage rack, and the velcro straps wrapped on the sissy bar. It is very sturdy. I am an IT guy and carry my various computers and tablets with me everywhere I go, so in the interest of not dropping my expensive equipment, I actually tried to make the bag fall from my bike while it was empty. At 70 mph, reaching back to "jar" the bag, it holds exceptionally well. This is an amazing bag set at an amazing price. If it's your style, you can't go wrong with this set!

Yes. I bought it for my 540, and traded that in for X738. I don't think it covers the wheels, but it is nice.

Ask this guy: Lex, Racks for All. He contacted me through Amazon, so I don't have a direct email.

Yes, shouldn't be a problem. The only issue I came across was installation of the allen head screws into the bottom attachments - basically lining the holes up - it's awkward. Take your time and it will be fine. I purchased the MTX bag with this and like it. Nice to be able to just slide it on and off quickly and no bungee cords to hassle with. Enjoy!

No but I think I read somewhere there is a way to install one. The docking is tight so can be a bit hard to push all the way in and then pull back out. But I have not had any problems with it.

Yes, BMW sells a luggage rack that attached to the base bars. It retails directly from the BMW site for 440.00

I just looked at the pictures of the mount on the webb sight , my friend that we mounted it on his bike already had a bracket so we used it . It said to use a luggage rack to mount the large bracket to then mount the box to the mount through the 4 holes in the bottom of the box . hope this helps.

I can't remember exactly how we attached it. I seem to remember black U-bolts that come through pre-drilled holes in the rack. I don't remember the front to back dimension. I remember it was quite secure. It was installed on a 2003 BMW 325i sedan with OEM rails. We don't have that car anymore, and the rack is in a storage facility, out-of-state (consequence of having 3 kids all over the world.) I remember being impressed with the design, both before and after our 2000-mile trip. At the time, it was the only structured car-top case you could get that was compactable.

It has a "universal" mounting bracket. It is not designed for any one particular application. Some fabrication may be required. That could be as simple as u bolts through the pre-drilled holes to attach to your luggage rack, or may require something more involved such as welding.

Yes. You need to tie any loose straps up with zip ties. I melted one strap that was loose. I ended up installing luggage racks.

Hi Bobby, Yes, the 500xt was designed with a maximum load capacity of 450lbs.

I put it on an X5. It was level because the hitch receiver was leveled well.

There is a Topeak DXP version without the MTX system that can be used with any rack. Doesn't seem to be an exact feature-to-feature match (doesn't show the back water bottle holder, for example.) Shows up under the name Topeak Velcro Strap Version Dxp Trunk Bag with Rigid Molded Panels

I googled Yamaha Cygnus so I could see it. This case works best with a luggage rack. That scooter does not appear to have one. I would say it would not work.

Yes, very well! In fact, I'm still using it on our X133X-S. I hope this helps.

It is held on to your luggage rack or other mount by 4 bolts through the bottom...don't see how it would be taken on and off very easily particularly if you have the lights wired. I haven't taken mine off since I got it for that very reason...just too difficult.

I have not. Not sure what the total sheer weight the bag can hold. Top rack it with cooler to be safe.
