I have this generic top case my son-in-law gave me. It came with his Honda Shadow that he bought. It has the case and the mount that fits the case. The mount doesn't fit my PCX. Do I buy a universal rack for my PCX and then attach the mount for this top case to that? I'm a little confused as to how to do this and I don't want to waste money on parts I don't need or end up with a mess. I feel like an idiot for not being able to figure this out myself. I can change my oil, change my belt and variator weights, etc., but just confused when it comes to what all I need to mount this to the bike.
I would suggest a factory rack for your year of PCX. Once that is installed, you will be able to bolt on the mount that came with the case assuming it is flat. You will have to line up the mount where you want the box to sit and drill holes in the rack to bolt it on. Be mindful that the box is far enough back that you can still open the seat.
I have mounted pelican cases, milk crates and Givi boxes and it’s all the same process.

Not quite. The pelicans don't like being put in a case. I would suggest putting the case on BEFORE putting the pelicans in. Otherwise it gets a bit tricky.
Currently own:
Red 2013 Honda PCX150 Givi tall windshield & tailbox - Lots of extra lights Custom seat from Thailand - Bad Boy Airhorn Takegawa Lowering Shocks - Michelin City Grip Tires Headlight assy upgraded to LEDs w/HS5 main bulbs NCY variator, drive face, and rollers
Ok, that is what I was thinking I would have to do. Thanks for your help!
Have a great day!
