Good for you! What took you so long?
You'll will really appreciate the extra storage capacity!

What are you doing with the other one? Shame you couldn't get it to work out. You'll be happy with the Givi.
I sure like the Givi Maxia I bought at Twisted Throttle. But the brake lights that they installed for me aren't working right now. I've got to go out and fiddle with that. If I push down on the trunk they work, but I can't figure out how to push down that hard on the trunk lid while I'm braking.

The old box is still in the garage. It was too small to pack the things I wanted to put in there and a PITA to take off. I hope this will do the trick for me. A back rest for my wife, Room for my kit, Easy removal when I don't want it back there.
Shall see.

I must say my Honda top box is my go to for storage and I don't have to worry about the latch breaking

Fed Ex arrived just prior to me leaving for work a couple of Tuesday. Naturally I had to unwrap it and put it on prior to leaving. The brake light still needs to get hooked up. This box can swallow some stuff. A Targus day-pack (wife calls it my man purse) and my lunch bag drop right in. my Helmet lives there while I am at work rather than hauling it in with me.
So far this is making me happy. With the cooler weather here having space to put heated gear at hand along with some extra layers is really nice. Aside from some small scratches on the box in the silver colored trim neat the latch it arrived in perfect shape.
The look is something I can live with as well. Wife thinks it looks classy I don't see it at all when I am riding and the weather protected storage is totally welcome.
So far this looks like a keeper. I so far feel no need to paint to match or some other project. will post some pictures when the light kit gets hooked up.

Karl,
Looks really nice and is really useful as well. I only take mine off when I go into a Motel. I like keeping it on for the brake lights (replaced with Adamore LED)

I have yet to hook that brake light up. Photo of what it looks like working to follow.
I think you dreamed about getting an NT, pinch yourself and see if your awake. Kind of sounds like a CLC I was waiting for.

Well done, good for you!
Looks really good Karl! I like the Givi top cases too.

Left the bike outside last night as usual. The wire across the seat is the cord to plug in my heated gear. As you can see it is getting cooler here.
I got a new controller from Warm'n'Safe yesterday so I'm back in the heated gear biz. It got nippy coming back from Thermopolis week before last when it wasn't working. I'll be more careful about not crimping the output wire on this one.

Great looking box! I'm considering the same one. What type mount did you use/purchase?

A Givi mount package from twisted throttle that I picked up second hand here on the site from MAC after he sold his bike.

Goes on relatively easy. Well worth the effort, used it again tonight.

Great looking box Karl. I use mine every day on the commute so it never comes off. If it needs to, like for service, it is just a push of the red button and lift. I have the JCW copy but at 41L it works for me. You'll like the utility.
As for that ice, keep it WAY up there, OK?

Had to wipe it (some ice) off the seat coming home tonight. First time this year. Air temp is 32 at my front door right now and it is bow season for deer already. The top box will swallow my heated vest backpack and lunchbox without a problem. So far it has been great. Still need to get the lights hooked up.
I know a guy who is have a Hallucinations that he actually purchased a NT in Illinois, he even start buying a bunch of stuff. Maybe he going to a party dressed as an NT.
