Just looking for rider experience regarding top boxes. I have limited my selection to a factory Yamaha Top Case and the Givi 38/42 litre Trekker type case. I don't want to discuss the merits of why have a top box. For some reason my local buddies insist there a bad idea. I just want somewhere to easily lock up my hemlet and hold my personal goodies. Anyway I digress.
Factory Box Pros: Its Factory and matches my factory bags. I have no plans to change/alter the factory bags
Givi Pros: Looks like solid enough construction, can be moved to a second bike with a simple adaptor plate
Both are CRAZY expensive... I was actually a little surprised, my other ride came with 3x factory cases. The GIVI, SWMOTECH and FACTORY bags are all within dollars. Im tempted to try a 400CND Chinese knock off because the other options are at least twice that.
I like one week trips, 300Miles/500Kms a day, no off-roading, occasional grave/dirt road for short trips.
Thanks in advance.
