Hi guys, i have a suzuki bandit 600s, I would like to get a top box but have no idea what size will look best as i dont want something that looks daft. I commute around three miles daily so small amounts of traveling but the main thing i want one for is for a large weise textile jacket and helmet as carrying them around college looks daft. Would a 32 litre fit or am I looking far too small?

It's a top box.
It will look as good as you think it looks.
Get the size that will fit your stuff and ideally a bit extra in.

as G says get what you want.

but i would have to say i have a givi 45L top box, and that will JUST
about fit two full face lids in it.

If i was sticking in a textile bike jacket as well as a full face, (thinking armour in shoulders and elbow) i reckon no way 32L would be enough.

when i had a 32L box it barely took a full face with little room left for tools and bits and bobs

might be worth a check to see just how much space your jacket and lid will actually take up.

as a guess to the width etc, i regularly get about two fullish plastic bags from the supermarket, into an empty 45L..add in a tiny bit for lid and that should give an idea of how much space you have to deal with.

the 32L is more like one large plastic shopping bag full

personally i say you might get away with a 45L if you want to carry stuff and lock it away.

this is on sale on the bay at a ridiculous price if it suited your needs

givi box
