1st step to Ninja 250ST: Alu-rack & Top Case

The Alu-rack came in yesterday. Installation went smoothly. I mounted JC Whitney top case (large) on it.

Shipping was sloppy. I don't know who to blame... Twisted Throttle or UPS. Luckily no parts were damaged.

The instruction was very clear and easy to understand. The only confusion I had was how to install the bracket under the rear seat. Take off the bolts that are closer to the tail light.

I suggest loosely fit all the parts before tightening all the bolts to the specified torque.

What you see to the left is the mounting plate for the top case. This goes on the rack. I didn't want to scratch up my new rack, so I placed a piece of exercise mat. I also had to raise the mounting plate, so that the top case will not push down on the rear seat. I still want to be able to take off the rear seat without taking off the top case.

And here she is this morning after my 30 mile commute.

My next project would be to add the side cases. Then I can call her Ninja 250ST - Sport Touring.:D

Hello,
Nice bike.

I also have a red 250R Ninja 2012.
What if after the alu rack you want to install a pair of givi monokey side cases?

Which rack would work for that?

Hi Juan,

I don't know of any, sorry. But you can make your own like this guy did.
