Top box recommendations?

[flak monkey]

I am after a top box for my 2001 SV. Preferably a removable one.

Doesnt need to be massive, as its only for my work stuff during the week. I use a rucksack at the moment, but its not quite big enough sometimes.

Any recommendations?

I have the standard suzuki one, which replaces the pillion seat, which works well for me.

Theres a thread going about in Bike Talk & Issues about topboxes!

Don't.

I had a givi one on the back of my curvy. I think it's 35L. It was great to not have anything on my back and just dump my kit in it when i got into work. On the other hand it did affect the handling (a bit ) if it was really full and the weather was windy and i did feel a lot less cool :(
i've still got it (minus rack) if you want a 2nd hand one though..

If you want to fit a top box I have a couple for sale, they are givi ones, 37l i think. Send me a PM if your interested and I'll sent you the full info.

I just ordered a HG brand 46L one, I'll let you know how it is. Cheap at 30 notes and comes with a universal fitting plate.

They do a 26L one as well iirc.

£30 IS cheap but Givis are very good, I bought one about 8 years ago and it's seen some serious use, still strong as ever although now has a homemade lock cos I lost the keys! DOH!

Ive got a Givi monokey E45 (I think). Can fit 2 full face helmets apparently, although it is a squeeze with my Caberg Konda flip up due to its size.

Looks blooming ugly, but it aint half practical.

Thanks. L3nny you have a PM

I am not worried about looking cool, lol. The SV is just a commuter bike for me...

i've got an SV1000S with a givi system on it and the topbox is very good especially if you get one with the higher brake lights and wired in, a must for a commuter as real safety plus for winter riding and at eye height for idiot car drivers half asleep escaping the office to get home
