Top box, Givi, Shad or maybe something else?

[Gone in 60]

A top box might not look pretty, but it's pretty convenient. When I work downtown on weekends, I put my uniform and related items in a duffle bag and drop it in the V47. When I get to work, I can pull out the duffle bag for the walk to my work location and drop my helmet in the now empty box. Keeps my helmet out of sight from weirdos who might amble into the parking garage when the security guys aren't looking. I used to carry the Givi in one hand and my helmet in the other, but that's akward opening doors and stuff.

Weight loading is an important consideration. There have been a few times when I've put a little more weight in the box than I probably should have (I.E. "Honey, can you stop and pickup blah blah on the way home?") Mostly felt that at parking lot speeds when turning, and it was a little warning to watch it when I got out to the street. Don't feel it so much on the CB, but on a smaller bike like the Enfield, it's noticeable.

Wouldn't know about instability at high speeds. I always obey posted speed limits, right?.
