Alu top box...?

Hi guys.

Been searching my a&s off looking for a proper alu top box!!! (That doesn't cost an arm & a leg).
Looking for something the size of the BMW GSA 1200 (can't believe I actually said that out loud... ) Do you guys think it would be able to mod one of these to fit or does anyone have any suggestions???

Shot!
BB

Remember not to load your bike too heavy on the back without proper support all the way to the bottom of the bike. Subframe tend to crack here just after the passenger handles...ask Cornel, he will tell you all about it....nothing wrong with big strong topbox...just be carefull that temptation to load it too heavy is't too big.
Is this for your Lesotho trip?

Yip, yip!!! For Lesotho trip, but'll be a good investment anyway (I think)...
But now I'm (I think) officially off the Alu top box story due to second warning (today) regarding the weak sub-frame!
Thanks for the heads-up!

What about soft luggage with a proper platform to fit it. Koaka makes a brilliant ranges, and then from Oxford you get nice ones as well.

Heehee, it'll be like a mobile garage, just take that GS size top box off at night and pop the Yam in safe and sound
