I have an NX500 myself, to be honest I went with some hard mounts that replace the passenger grab bars and hard boxes from Ali express, even with tarrifs (I’m in the US) the total was sub $500 for two boxes and a rack. Super worth it, I put it through hell and high water and they’re great. Definitely something I’d recommend.
Done the things in your box get quite hot here on the right hand side?
Ayy the adventure version of my bike! Love the white and black combo. Those cases look awesome. Something on rails like yours is what I'll have to get if I want saddle bags. I might just look into a tail bag in the interim. Does the bottom of the right box ever get warm?
I wanna wrap it in something like baby blue personally lol. And yeah, I’d recommend the cheap ones on Aliexpress personally, it’s like a quarter of anything else price wise. It doesn’t line up perfectly but I’m a function over form person lol. And I’m sure it does but I’ll have to check next long ride, but I’ve never had issues with anything melting or anything getting too warm
Baby blue would look cool too! My bikes boring and matte black. Are the mounts from AliExpress too?
Matte black still looks great in my opinion!
And Yep! Hopefully links are allowed but these are what I got

Seeing one of the reviews did remind me you’ll need someone with a 3d printer. The plastic spacer bit the bracket came with may as well have been made from tissue paper, but after printing new spacers they’ve been rock solid for me.
Oh excellent! I have a nice 3D printer so not a problem here. Thanks for the links and info!
For sure! Keep the rubber side down amigo. The Honda 500s are phenomenal bikes, definitely sucks about the melted bag though lol.
