Does the Samurider Top Box lock? If so, different key?
Does it hold a full face helmet?
How quick and easy is it to take off the bike?
Are used ones ever available?
Does it effect the handling?
Thanks!

If the Samurider top box is the Honda OEM top box, it can use a Honda one-key system so it can work with your ignition key. There are instructions on the forum for setting it up.
Yes, it holds a full-face helmet.
Ask RandyB about getting it on and off (I have a Givi Monolock top box which is really easy to take on and off.)
I've never seen an ad for a used one.
It almost certainly affects the handling, but not enough for me to notice.
There is also no question that it affects the aesthetics negatively.

Nothing that I have noticed. I guess it would if you have it full of heavy stuff, but the way I have it, it really has no major impact on handling.
It is the one key system that you have to key to your bike. It's not that hard and I did it using the Japanese instructions and just following the pictures, but there are translated instructions somewhere on the forum.
Yes it holds a full face helmet quite easily.
