"old" LinQ box on a G3?

Hi all G3 riders

XTP`s are not coming in for a few weeks.

Dealer says my 124l 32gal LinQ trunk box will not fit on the G3 XTP and XTP MAX.


Of course anything is possible, but was wondering if anyone has solved the mounting issue?


We love the style of the old trunk boxes, so want to keep them.





TIA, Patrick

So, to answer my own question, it is possible.



Two of the Linq line up, but the Linq connectors can't be used since they would have to be a bit longer.

Also, the four plastic molds under the box should be cut off, now the box sits flush and safe on the carrier.

I modded two Linq connectors so was able to send an M10 screw through it with a huge washer with locking nut under the carrier.


Then I drilled two M6 holes through the box and carrier for a long screw. Very firm and safe.



No holes visible, even if I take the box off.



Job done.

Sharp! For sure! Seen you mentioned that your dealer said the XTP wasnt due to arrive for a couple of weeks..good to know. ive had 2 machines ordered and have been told 4 different arrival dates by my dealership down here in Oklahoma. Was the colored parts on the box, standard with that linq box? ive seen ones with a taillight on the back,but not painted the same color as the machine. Looks really good.
