My '81 750L with the "old school" Bates trunk. I like it, you can put alot of stuff in there. I've since taken it off and got a tank bag. I'm going to use the Bates for longish trips when more stuff is required.

This one is actually older than the 850 it sits on. It was made by a company named Accessory Research Engineering; I bought it in about 1977. That was back in the days before you could buy a touring bike. You bought a motorcycle and then got the fairing and luggage from aftermarket to make it a touring bike.



This one is a top of the line model from Office Depot.



Maybe Plane Crazy will be along with a picture of the ice chest that served as his top box for a time.

I am very interested in this thread as I am also looking to get another top box, this one for my 1100E. There appear to be two premium box lines serving the U.S. market fight now, Givi and Shad. Both are made in Europe. Then there are the Givi knockoffs available from JC Whitney and other places for about a third of the price. And I see some other style offered by many vendors on Ebay for a price a little higher than the Givi knock off. I haven't found anything yet that has both the look and the function I am seeking.

I just ran across this which looks like a pretty good deal for a large capacity box. It is 48 liters and the price is right.

I'm going to get one of these for my L. Seems like a good price. I've got to pick one up in the next month so the lady can rest on the way to NV.
