Which topbox?
 

Hi all

Change in job now means I will probably need a topbox. Now having never owned one before I have no idea whats the best makes, are they secure enough to leave items left in them while parked up etc e.g helmet

Any advice would be welcome as I will probably be looking at buying one sometime this week or next week

For an SV?

Kappa/Giving rack and 30 litre top box are grand for general use.

What sort of helmet? Some of the flip-front-with-built-in-sun-visor jobbies are bigger than a standard full face. Before you decide take your lid into a shop with display items and try them for size.

My V46 Givi takes two normal full face lids easily.

Yes it would be for a pointy k3. I plan on leaving my full face lid in there but has anyone ever had any problems with it being broken into?

I have left a helmet in topbox for years with no issue. I have carriedcomputer, camera etc however I would not leave these items un-attended. When Ihave been away overnight, I would take topbox inside where I was staying. It isprobably a bit like airport luggage. Expensive looking kit might be moretempting than cheap and cheerful.

Never had a problem with anyone breaking into my box, I like Givi boxes and the 30L is the most reasonable size, nothing wrong with the bigger ones, just 30L is ideal.

Thnx rictus for the pics. Do you ever have trouble filtering with the larger box

Re: Which topbox?
 

if they want it they will have it.

Re: Which topbox?
 

My V46 is about the same size as Rictus' larger box and it's still narrower than the handlebars, so no, filtering is not compromised.
