Top Box / Rack / Something hard to put stuff in

[thereheis]

I'm after a budget thing to put some stuff in - I tried Tesco's veggie boxes and unfortunately my boxer shorts fell out on the M25!

So does anyone have anything that'd work for a 2k mile trip to Spain? Not taking a lot so only need a top box, I reckon some of the rack sets look rank some vaguely aesthetically pleasing (pref. black) would be ideal.

Failing this could anyone point me in the direction of a nice, cheap, new alternative? What'd be great is something that replaces the pillion seat, but don't know if such a thing exists for the SV.

It's a very standard SV650 2003, btw! And I'm leaving in 2 weeks!

Get a spare pillion seat and bolt a big solid box to it? Renntec sportstrack, likewise with something attached?

My Givi topbox rack and box cost m about £50 all in off Ebay, some may mock but there's no easier way to travel or to haul stuff on an SV.

Seem to remember there being something exactly like that.

Top-boxes rule. You should be able to find something on ebay, otherwise maybe have a look in bikemart etc, see if someone is selling a bike with a top-box - they might let you have the top-box and rack?

Yeah I did try ebay, there's a fake Givi (can you fake something that's already a copy!) but rank for £25, I think my time constraint is against me.

That's awesome! Only really wanted to spend no more than a ton, but beggars can't be choosers and all that. Going to see if a local dealer stocks it, and if so wait a week to see if eBay, bikemart comes up trumps then buy, buy, buy!

I'd definitely like to see it! Was becoming to resigned that I might use a soft one - as that Suzuki one is £180 all in. Whereabouts are you etc. - I'll drop you a PM!
