How do u like your topbox?

[Hardware]

The RT comes with hard panniers and I bought the BMW topcase from the dealer (they keyed it to my ignition key).

The topcase only goes on for extended overnight trips when I need the space.  For a sporting local ride, all luggage is left in the garage.  For running errands or commuting, the panniers get the nod.

I can't bring myself to run the topcase alone.  A bike looks...wrong with only a topcase and no side cases...just my subjective opinion.

I have the Coocase S48 on my bike, and I use it every day.  The reason I got it so big was to be able to put two helmets in it.







Even was able to fit a set of headers for my 24 hours of lemons car in it (shorty headers for a 302)

St. Nick dropped off my birthday present on the 6th today.

A nice Givi 46 topcase for my Kawi C-10.  A nice mounting kit completed the deal.

Thanks, Santa!


So far, I really like my topcase.....   I will let you all know how well it rides when I get the bike back out in Spring.

Another happy V46 owner.  I have been using it for over 4 years over 2 bikes - ZERO complaints.

I am considering a top box for my next motorcycle. I am concerned that carrying weight that high would affect the handling of the bike in a negative way.  Has this happened to anyone?
My alternative would be a tailbag strapped to the pillion, {i ride solo}. Thanks for the input.

   I have a Givi V46 on my ST1300 and it works great. Only lightweight  items such as clothing are ever stored in it---nothing heavy. Heavier items go low and to the front of the saddlebags balanced from side to side close to the center of gravity.
