Can prima roll bag hold 12 rack?

Well, my wire basket on the back rack is failing me. It has rusted and the wires are snapping. I need another solution to toting food/ beverages.

I can fit my large full face helmet in it.

I am sort of hesitant about top cases. I used to have one and broke the lock.

Is that a 12 rack of beer or pop? In Ohio we call them packs..

Sorry...I crack myself up.

from UbranDictionary.com

half rack

A delicious 12-pack of beer.

hence... you can also call it a 12 rack. but c'mon guys I need a serious answer. attaching stuff with zip ties to my rear rack isn't cutting it. I need somewhere to maybe stash my full face. But I use my scoot for grocery trips, and on occasion, beer transport.

How about this Rear Cargo Basket that comes with a removable liner (grocery bag). It is listed on the ScooterWorks WEB page.

Yes - it will hold a 12 pack

Was your previous topcase a GIVI?

The Givi is well constructed.

Read the different dimensions of the models...some are same size just shaped differently.

no I had one of the genuine matching top cases. i dropped my bike (by accident of course) and the lock broke. my homework flew out all over the sidewalk. the givis are nice, but a bit out of my budget.

yeah the genuine are not quite as durable as Givi, but you are right the price is a bit expensive. Buy a Givi and you probably won't need to buy another one.

Alternatives...the basket, the milk crate (I used one of those for years--took the dimensionss off of that and ordered the Givi with the same dimensions).

good luck on finding what works and economical.

Isn't this what the floorboard is for??

Milk crates have been a constant in my life since childhood, and I am a firm believer in them

You could always spray paint it white to coordinate with ur bud. I used to line mine with a garbage bag if I had small loose stuff being transported, or if inclement weather should arise. I haven't really seem a top case that was inexpensive, but I will keep my eye out for something that will suit your needs. I'm beginning to become a real thrift store rat, perhaps you will luck up at your local Goodwill/Salvation Army? There's all kinds of wicker and luggage there. Maybe you could put your helmet under the seat and the rest of the crap in a train case, tool box or another basket on the rear rack secured with bungees.

I like the genuine wicker baskets, but it would clash terribly with the wire one I already have on the front ...I am very picky with the scoot. They both need to match in some way.

I was hauling groceries this evening and was in constant fear that the remaining wires on my basket would break under the weight. I found a love;y white milk crate, but was told that it was back ordered until further notice. Maybe I will check again...

I love the idea of the train case though. Very neat!

Yes! I fell in love with train cases today. Damn ebay!

I have used a white plastic milk crate until I found a red one for .25 at a garage sale. The red crate still had the store sticker of $3.99. They measure out at about 11"x 12" square and can carry a lot of food and what not. See picture attached of my old white crate.

If you don't want to trust zip ties, you can attach a milk crate just like the topcases attach. Get a couple metal bars, drill them, and bolt ones below the rack to ones inside the crate.

You don't have to drill. If you go to your local Hardware store, HD / Lowe's, & go to the hardware section & look for lumber support brackets. They will be by the lumber area. Just get 2 flat pieces with holes already in them. 2 or 3 bolts, washers & nuts. Attach & your done. look for galvanized or stainless so they don't rust.
