Top boxes are as ugly as no get out, but they are very practical. I wonder too about getting some side bags for camping trips. Those Tourmaster bags look OK, although noroomtomoove has some that came from a crowd called Andy Strapz that have a roll top and I think are waterproof. I like the look of them every time I see them.

I felt the same way about top boxes, so I bought the Honda rear rack. It did not take too long to realize it had limited capabilities, so I bought small and inexpensive EMGO top box for my helmet.

It turned out to be more useful than I anticipated as I now have a place for my gloves, ear plugs, maps, camera, emergency kit, etc. Even hauled a medium size snapping turtle in it on my last ride.

On one day trip the helmet was replaced with a fishing reel, collapsible rod, and small tackle box.

For a week long trip fishing trip I bought some Sedici Distanza Square saddlebags on sale for $99 from Cycle Gear. Amazing the amount of clothes and stuff I was able to squeeze into them.

Nortoon, your top box is ugly. So is mine. Cormanus said so. Tongue

I think any top box for the CB1100 is ugly (30L or 50L+). Nevertheless, the practicality cannot be ignored. I reckon many of us at the Forum don't really care anyway. Smile

Thank you popgun. I needed a laugh. Big Grin

Yes, top boxes are ugly and we should have went for the retro milk crate look instead...

Color matching, lightweight, and aerodynamically neutral. Comes with multiple tie-down points and won't fill up with water.

Well, that is versatile!

What is up with the complimentary bike rentals?

I stayed overnight at a hotel in Eureka, CA and they let my park my bike there by the front door, which also happened to be next to a bike rack.
