    Top Box

    I've never been particularly keen on having a Top Box, however because i ride everyday and need to carry stuff for work, i was finding secure space to lock it in was getting short. I picked this up today for $129.00. I don't think it looks too bad and is removable in seconds with a key lock. I think i'll black out the yellow side panel / stripe and just leave the red at the back.

    Yes they are very handy. Best if you can blend it in so it doesn't look like an "add on" to the bike.

    Hit it with some gloss black spray enamel as well... it's look better too.

    I went ahead and set mine up recently. I already had the case from my other bike, just had to add the rack and Givi adapter plate. I will only use it on overnighters with the wife. The rest of the time the sidebars are enough space.

    The removable box is a nice idea. Boxes keep things nice and dry as well as dust free (mostly) while traveling.

    It came with a mounting plate that attached to my rear rack.

    Cool name for the white. I almost got a white one. Went mat silver in the end. You and pilotguy have the white whales. Looks good with the trunk. Do you think the cagers take you for the law?
