The Horror - Top Case For Speed Triple

Looks lovely mate
EVERY bike should have a TOP BOX

 

I'm sorry to say that the pictures didn't fail to upload!
I saw the thread title but still had to look ... bit like when an old lady sits opposite you on the bus with her legs open ... you really try not to look but you just can't help it (no ... it isn't just me!).

 

I've literally just been sick in my own mouth with the thought!

 

Needs must I guess.....
(That's the top box - NOT old ladies legs akimbo)

 

Erm, is your dog feeling OK or has it been involved in an accident? The one looking at your bike in the second pic...

 

Sorry, it’s not for me, even if it had been mounted straight (top pic)

 

That’s a nice installation, what I like about the SW Motech Alurack is that the top box fitting plate can easily be removed when not in use so the bike doesn’t look quite so awkward with a top box not fitted.

 

Absolutely wet miself laughing at this!!

 

Looks pretty cool actually. I’d probably leave it off for general riding but on longer rides it’s great.

Like the color choices as well. Does it affect the handling at all?

 

I did today!!!

 

Could've saved a few quid by borrowing one of those bins in the background.

 

One of those looks number 2 aswell.

 

Yup, I can see your inspiration but it is not doing it for me.......

 

Besides the fact that it’s not my cup of tea, isn’t it possible to place the top case above the passenger seat? I mean, if you use the seat cover it’s not that you expect a passenger... might take some modification, but would make a huge difference in looks AND weight distribution (plus wind during riding). Anyway, just a thought....

 

56 litres you’ll get a family of four in that!

 

Well, as I love resurrecting dead threads, I thought I might as well ask this here...

How did you find the V56 top box? I've just ordered the street rack for the speed RS and that will take a couple of weeks to arrive so now I just need to decide what top box. Yes, I appreciate that this will cause offence to the majority of people here, but likewise, I do a lot of commuting and need to lug a laptop around with me etc. I have been making do with the Kreiga previously but have decided I really should up my game now. I have full luggage on my KTM 1290 SA and it is just so easy to throw a few bits into the topbox etc, but unfortunately that bike has been struck with some reliability issues and it has become clear warranty fixes is not their priority. I am now looking to do a few bits on the speed triple to ensure I have a backup bike for my long distance trips in case needed as well as my usual commute into London etc.

I'm currently tempted by the V47 top box but just wanted to check if anyone has had problems with the bigger boxes on the bike especially when its loaded with heavy things?

Thanks in advance.
