    EBay item 333057717210.
    For some reason I can't post a link.
    I shall be using the top box when going to Switzerland. It will do the job.

    Where did you buy them from Dozer?
    Seen the Dillgaff thread. Those boxes look good.

    The link doesn’t work anymore :(
    I found it in bargain top box using the forum search :)
    If you go to eBay and type in motorcycle top box then loads come up :eek:
    The one that we all bought is still there but varies in price from £25 to £35

    On my searches, through eBay, i have found the same boxes from around £25/27 up to £55. Going to buy 1x 52lt for a top box and 2x 35lts for panniers. May have to fit a metal plate in them to strengthen the ones used for the panniers. That including a 55lts Dry rollbag sorts the luggage for my 2 month trip later this year. This year is a practise run for my overland China adventure next year.

    I got my Givi 47l (or it might be a 52l) off Faceache marketplace. Cost me £25 complete with base plate and two keys. I can get 2 helmets in so it might be 52l. Worth a look!

    I got this been using it daily for going to work has been through rain and freezing cold and has been great. comes with a plate you bolt onto a luggage rack and the box fixes on that so you can remove at night if you want to by pressing a button. the lock was very stiff but some grease into the lock sorted that and it only cost £30, and solid built.

    Thank to Del and Dozer, found a 52ltr box on eBay for £24.99 inc post. Noticed the boxes that were too cheap to believe are selling for up to triple of what they were
