I'm in need of the above as I'm changing a job and I'm going to be commuting 50miles a day. I know I can put any box on renntec rack but what are the other options? Also I don't want to spend a fortune that I haven't got so any advice more than welcome.

I think I've placed this thread in wrong section, mods please move to sv talk.

I wouldn't put a topbox on a renntec, its sort of asking for trouble.

Get another pillion seat and bolt it to that. Its been one quite a few times on here

what size box are you looking to mount, and what weight will it carry?

I haven't seen this one, I'll look into that. Have you got any pictures by any chance?
Cheers

Probable 56l and about 10-15kg

With a 46 litre box:

IMO Givi is well worth the money you pay for it. The arms and rack are about £100, plus the top box. You;ll pay about £200 for a new 46 litre box, and it is best to go monokey as they are rated for 10kg in the boxes, they will hold mroe though.

Givi rack on a curvy with an E52 box, the box can take 2 full face helmets, put 24 cans of larger in there any you start to notice it!

I've got a ventura rack with the bag, that's very good.

I've also got a full givi rack with top and side boxes, thats awesome for travelling
