Hard luggage

Unfortunately, there are very few EX250-specific hard luggage options available. Most of them require making your own parts. Below are few examples of homebrew hard luggage systems.

Example 1: Ventura/Jeb Rack + JC Whitney/Givi topcase.

You can acquire a ready-made Ventura or JebRack and install a JC Whitney or a Givi trunk. This system is very simple to install and there is no need to make your own parts. Picture taken from Troy's profile.

Example 3: Two Givi Hard sidecases permanently mounted to the bike. Courtesy of [quixotic]

Quixotic manufactured a rectangular sub-frame out of aluminum square stock, and bolted the boxes to it. Detailed instructions can be found here.

Example 4: Homemade rack + three Givi Hard cases

This setup features a DIY rack. Courtesy of viajero (no profile yet)

Details: 3/4" copper pipe (type L, thick wall) with 3/4" wood dowel running the length of the pipe and as far into the elbows as possible. This should add a lot of strength and crush resistance. Joints are glued with JB Weld. There are two copper rivets in each joint for added strength. All holes have a dab of silicone as well to seal the pipe. Because of the wood inside, it is advisable to waterproof the joints. A particular challenge was drilling the mounting holes to match the angle of the holes for those bungee hooks. Those holes are also filled with silicone at the final mounting. The rack sits high enough to be able to lift the seat, slide it back and then lift the front and remove. The boxes are mounted just far enough forward and do not interfere with the turn signals.

Example 5: Another homemade rack + three Givi Hard cases

This setup uses passenger footpegs and the grab bar as rack mount points.
