In the Netherlands, we have a popular second-hand site, called "Marktplaats.nl".
I had a look on this site and there are two companies offering a rack for a top-box for a NTV650.
One asks € 35 (Randstad motors) and the other asks € 49,50 (Piet Kruis motoren).
All, of course, without transportation costs.
If you're interested, I could translate/forward an e-mail to one of these companies.
Ride safely

Hi wellsplattered, Here are the links to the two adverts. BTW both are new racks, as far as I can see (old stock). This "Marktplaats" site is different to e-bay. Most of the times you can bid for a certain item. But your bid isn't final (you can withdraw). And the seller can always refuse to sell the item. Also there is no time limit. Basically it's just a bit advert-site. You have to finalize the agreement by direct contact between seller & buyer. In the top, right-hand corner of the advert there is a link to send the seller an e-mail. Here are the two links: link.marktplaats.nl/216437488link.marktplaats.nl/203247805Good luck Franklin |

Thanks both, some good links. I am going to check out the ebay links first as English is my first language, plus like the idea of panniers |

Dates are 3rd April to the 10th/11th or 12th depending on progress. Hope to be on the ferry on fri night! Two of us riding with two pillions. My housemate on his FR600 and me on the NTV. Aim to get down to the south coast of france via the alps. Monte Blanc tunnel and some twisties over the alps, maybe a day at Nice and then back over the big bridge at Millau. Everywhere else is still up for discussion amongst the four of us. Still in the planning stages, but everyone has booked the time off work |
