I've got the white background with the very light blue header bar :lamp:
Nothing at the the moment, although every time I look at it, I see a great spot to stash small items. Odds are good a small Pelican case could also work in that area if you wanted to DIY something.1) Does any "box" exist that would fit securely into the space under the Bumot mounting plate? I'm thinking something like the pannier toolbox.
We try to hold back some stock of key combinations to ensure we can key to match down the road, so if you opt to add the pannier set at a later date, odds are very good we can key to match. I'll just need the three-digit key code stamped into the top case key head to match. On the off-chance we can't match (hasn't happened yet in 2+ years), we can get you a separate replacement lock set for all cases so that everything would be matched.2) If I get a Bumot top case, then months later buy the pannier set, can I still get all the locks keyed the same?
This is probably more a factor of the weight rating of the rear subframe/mounting point area, as the mount and top box are pretty much bombproof. I don't have Yamaha's recommendation in front of me, but will do some checking and see if I can scare it up - it will probably be very conservative. Realistically, we have riders keeping reasonable loads in their top cases without any issue over long distances, although usually you'll want to keep heavier items lower in the panniers for less top-heaviness. For more aggressive off-road situations, a dry bag may work better than a top case (BUMOT or otherwise), but it is tough to beat the utility of the 41L top case!3) What is the recommended weight load of the top case.
Thanks for the info Jason. I placed an order today for the 25L top case. I'm very excited to try this case out.rotaryracer said:Hi WenWa - thanks for your interest! Answers are below:

I'll see if I can get the Yamaha max load rating today, but if you have any other questions, please let me know.
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback Wayne, and glad you like the case - enjoy!WenWa said:Wow! New York to WA state in 2 days. Was not expecting shipment until Monday.
Got the box on without difficulty. No instructions included, but I looked at a couple pictures and figured it out easy enough. I'm very impressed with this case. Solid, well thought out. The hinges and locks are beefy. Enjoy the pics. Sorry about the clutter.
Only knock on the case, as far as I can tell, one must empty the contents of the case to unscrew the knob on the bottom. For my purposes, not a big deal.
Thanks again Jason for an exceptional product!
