how big is a 32 litre topbox?

seen a few on ebay for 30 quid and want one for my zip as i could do with a bit more space

ive seen a 28litre one but that looks like it just fits a helmet in i want to chuck my lunch in on the way to work and then put the helmet and gloves in when im there

Go for as big as you can get. I've never once thought "I wish my top box was smaller" but have wished it was bigger a few times and it's a 48 litre.

but the bikes small and only has a 100cc engine so too big would off balance it Wink

Don't necessarily get hung up just on the capacity in litres. Shape is just as important.

I've got a 36l box that's not deep enough for a lid. My 45l box has space for 2 full face tho.

Well I can fit thin waterproof overclothes, my boots and my textile pants (with armour still in) into my 37 litre. Alternatively, with some very careful folding I can actually fit my leather jacket in there, all armour still in place (although that's not an easy task). I'm tempted to upgrade to a 40 odd litre so i can try to squeeze my textile jacket in there. Always like being able to get off the bike and leave ALL gear in/chained to the bike, makes life much easier.

If you filter a lot (or do any tight filtering) then get the biggest capacity that doesn't exceed your bar or mirror width. If you don't filter that often and when you do there's plenty space, just get something LARGE (it won't cock your balance up unless you load it with lead weights lol)
