I agree that Touratech is very spendy. Good quality, but you can get the same for much less, just without the trendy sticker! The main reason not to do the top box on an adventure bike is it's tough to swing a leg over the top of 'em. Us short folks are reduced to picking up our leg and tossing it over the saddle, hoping we don't get our bootlace caught on the coat sleeve velcro. Not pretty.

The reasons for avoiding top boxes are, I guess, to do with mounting and dismounting and they are not that aerodynamic, wide panniers however do slow down filtering.

Personally I prefer Full Dress with a big enough Top Box for 2 Helmets. The old Silver Wing was Ideal, Full Dress and 600cc Only reason I can think of is difficulty in getting On/Off With top box if Driver in place Andy C Hello
