The aerodynamics of an open top box at speed

[GoldOxide_imp]

You want bulbous? Here's bulbous. The V40 is my normal go-to, since it's smaller and lighter and holds the stuff I usually take back and forth from the office. Looks like a Weber barbecue on the back of either bike, but when I get to work, it clicks off and I carry it in like a briefcase.

And yes, I get a lot of grief from the Triumph purists who say I ruined a perfectly good Bonneville. But, the rack is held on with six screws, and if it bugs me enough, it comes off with one Allen wrench and ten minutes.

Givi makes a trim piece for the V40 which I'm thinking of buying to break up the black bulb look, but I don't think fifty bucks worth of additional plastic can polish this very practical turd.

Weber BBQ is just about spot on.

I hate the looks but it’s tough to beat the functionality.
