Top Box
Hi all
New to the forum, owner of a 2003 blue VTR. I am wanting to put a Kappa or Givi top box on the bike this year, but am not happy with the universal mount sold for the VTR (ugly). I am wondering if anyone has put a top box on and if there are pics!
Thanks
Sccop

Re: Top Box
You dont like the tank bags that are out there? My buddy has one that fits the curve of his body and he gets to lie on it. He fills it with rain gear etc even if he doesn't need it. It's the cat's *** as it takes all the weight off your wrists.

Re: Top Box
The beetle bags from Corbin are interesting, and about the only thing I can find made for the SuperHawk, but they are not practical in terms of packing and can't be removed easily to go in the hotel room or tent or whatever. The Kappa or Givi bags are like suitcases that clip on the bike very easily. I intend to mount one, but am looking to not have to reinvent the wheel if anyone else has gone before me

Between what you can get in the pack and on the luggage rack you should be able you carry all you need with a Ventura Rack System . Then remove it when not on a trip .

Re: Top Box
I just bought the Ventura rack for my VTR and plan on installing a Givi E250 mounting plate to mount the Givi E360 top case that I had on my last bike.
Only thing that I think I will need to do is saw off the "upright" portion of the sport rack the leave a flat surface to mount the adapter plate to.
I will post pictures when I am done.
Anything has to look better than the Givi top case mounts.
