I had a small kriega once, very good option if you want to keep your sandwiches dry, but the fold down and strap idea is not the best IMHO.
I'd be looking at a cheaper option. For example, my tail bag can hold a basket of shopping, is waterproof and cost me £15. You could find a suitably sized tupperware type plastic box, or even a small storage box. Line it or pack it with some thick foam, you then have an even load that won't rattle about and stress the zips or fabric. A bit ghetto I know, but I'd not fork out £100 on something that might break in 6 months time. ____________________ Current: 2009 SV650 S, 1990 Kawasaki GT550

Thanks for all replies.
Pop into J&S soon. After the advice and some thought probably end up getting anther Oxford. Bag I've got has now been discontinued and is poorly reviewed online, albeit briefly, so probably speaks for itself. See if the current offerings have a better connection zip.
Probably is plenty of cheaper options online but in a rush to get back on the road and prefer having a place to visit for when something goes wrong.
Cheers for advice on packing with foam or alike. ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |

As per the "WWTLTYB" thread I went with an Oxford x30 in the end for £89. Guy in the shop spending £900 on gear made me feel better.
Top boxes are humongous. I looked at some on the rack and wondered how many t-leafs one could hide inside before the balance of the bike became upset.
See how long this one holds up for. ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |
