TOP BOX top price

HI still waiting for my rear rack to come from TT, I have a cheap plastic top box that will fit 2 full face lids but if that doesnt work these look great.

From Loise on the loose site:n summer 2005 I did a 3000 mile ride on my Serow around Western and Eastern Europe, using a plastic Givi top box and a couple of rucksacks slung over the seat. This basic DIY setup confirmed my suspicions that soft panniers were the way to go, plus one lockable compartment for valuables, such as cameras, passport etc. There's no way the Givi would cope with the rugged roads of Africa, so I found a lightweight aluminium box for just 60 quid from a company in Leicester called Potterton's Cases (founded in 1896!). It seemed perfect for the job, except for the fact that it wasn't watertight, so I slathered it with bathroom sealant in preparation for the tropical downpours of Central Africa The box is bolted to a steel rack, made by rally and overland expert, David Lambeth, who also fitted the bike with a 22 litre tank, a screen and an exhaust guard.

Pottertons do a good range of sizes and it looks like you can get a box that will suit the rugged looks of the TEN and hold two full face lids for around �140 delivered. may be worth a look if you are after a sturdy top box.
