Mine won't, I've tried 2 seperate helmets in it and the lid won't quite shut on either of them unless I lay the helmet on it's side. They look ok though but for the money, a Givi box is much better imho and has the advantage of being removable in seconds.....no back rest though.

How verry dare you, it's a medium, honest

Medium for a head? Or medium for a moon? :biggrin:

Coaster, maybe it has more to do with your head than the top box

just kidding

I have a caberg large and it fits fine any way up, that's where I leave it anyway.

If I pack cleverly I can get lots of other stuff in their too.

I agree about givi being better build quality but hey it's Italian.

Falling to bits and s**t build quality is all part of the fun

Anyway I can't grumble as original top box and rack costs 300 great British notes.

I however paid half that as it was yellow and had a scratch but was brand new so I painted it myself.

After

i remember that you were going to buy mine that i took in part exchange for work done to another GTS forum member.. then you let me down on the deal leaving me with 2 topboxes and racks

I bought mine 2nd hand off ebay for £50.00, it was gloss black and my GTS250 is dark metalic blue so I also had to spray it, came up ok
