Yamaha top box
I've got the Yamaha panniers on my XT660Z and have been toying with getting the top box. Whilst looking at the accessories brochure I noticed it says they should not be used together.
Does anyone know the reason for this? I'm sure I have seen pictures of the bikes with it all on? |

It'll be fine...
I've done about 6000 miles over two trips with that lot on the back.

Thanks for the replies! Now do I need a rack or does it just bolt to the 4 fixings on the original small plastic framework?
Anyone know of a secondhand one for sale? |

It's a reasonably well thought out design as the bottom of the top box fits into the slots on the rack of the bike and locks in place via the key/lock. The locking system can be a little awkward at times, they are prone to sticking or even jamming up of you don't treat them with sympathy. Lots of people complain about this, but I had a topbox and it was fine - just kept it well lubricated and wasn't 'hamfisted' (as we same oop norf) with it, it served me well.
