Biggest top box?

Just wondered what is the biggest top box? GIVI E52?
I admit E52 is wide, but it's height isn't enough. Why don't they make more taller ones? The height of E52 is only the size of one lid. I am not satisfied with it. If I put 2 lids in it, I can't cram other things any more.

Well the higher you make the top box, the more unstable your bike will be when you put tons of stuff in it. 52 litres is huge! Laughing

What are you carrying?

When I stop at restaurant, I want to cram my bike jacket in it(on the lids).

Nope, my bike would handle like a pig. Laughing

Im sure with a bit of fabrication you could make a bigger top box but it would look silly. Laughing

Have you considered panniers?

I haven't thought about panniers yet. I'm afraid they woud make my bike wider and hinder me from filtering. And if I attach triple(panniers and top box), I must separate my baggage into 3 every time.

I have panniers on my bike. They don't affect filtering as the mirrors are still the widest part.

a Givi wingrack with three of the E52 cases attached would hold more than my house. Each is 52 litres

I can fit two full face helmets in my single E360 topbox (only 36 litres)

Something like 91 litres, cost £30, in the states its sold for £20.
Its pretty damn good, it makes it a bit tricky filtering but believe it or not is no wider than the bars, but its where you can't see it.
(funny enough people do tend to get the hell out of the way of it though)

Tbh not used it much as I'm on the cb125 more nowadays. Considering a box taking the whole back half of the cb up though, very handy.

Those fibreglass things aren't bad, if you were doing a major touring stint it'd be just the thing (you could even leave a fiberglass repair kit, think there'd be space)

WOW really thanks. I like Keigh Gold boxes and Mr.Z's top box. Being able to carry many things is really nice. Thanks again.
