Robbo if your interested I have a spare vario topbox that I am looking to sell for £100 plus P&P. That includes the base plate but not the supporting brackets as I have them om my current base plate for current vario topbox. If your interested then you can e mail me on
derek.paterson@
.net. There is a slight scuff mark on the top box which occurred when the bike was toppled. Hence the reason I have two. I would also include the lock for the topbox as well, obviously. If it had not been covered by my subsequent insurance claim I would still be using it. Realise that you might not want a used topbox on a new bike. Its up to you, thought I'd offer anyway, just gathering dust in my garage at the moment.
so picked up my new GS SE today in Alpine white ,Adventure wheels + seat along with Free panniers 
first impressions are that i like it a lot. It feels a lot lighter than my GSA is faster off the mark though I am running it in ,and easier in traffic. Since I gave up some private work in Portsmouth in march I have used the GSA less and less ,mainly because it seemed too big in traffic and I use a T Max as well.My Idea was to keep with a GS but get one more suitable to my needs now. The SE is Ideal in that It's between a GSA and a GS ,hieght wise as it uses an Adventure seat.it feels slimmer and lighter ,though there is less protection from the small screen and tank.Range clearly is less,189 miles it says where as the GSA could do 300 ..........but I never did
In Short I like it ,Its not a massive difference but the issues I personally had with the GSA and my current motorcycle needs have been sorted in the SE version
