Top box for two helmets

[Oldrat]

After the luxury of my Pan, I'm in the market for a GSA. Before I jump, which top box do you guys recommend -
It must take two full face lids
and I would prefer it to blend in with the panniers, ie not a Givi plastic jobbie

Cheers

Top Box

I have to say matey that none of the alloy top boxes currently on sale for GS/GSA'S that i know off will take 2 full size lids.

I moved to a GS from a Triumph Sprint which was fitted with a givi e52 and originally kept the givi on the GS but out of vanity got the Vario Panniers and top box, what a mistake that was, the top box can not take 2 lids and struggles with one size large schuberth at the best of times.

I would go back to a givi e52 for everyday use and then loose it when overlanding with the panniers and other soft luggage (large drybag on back rack etc).

Anyone wants a Vario topp box i n exchange for a givi / kappa apply herein......

If it just to save carrying lids around when stopping for a bit these are very handy:

Also can be used on tour when your top-box is full of crap, I also use one to lock tank bag to bike as well.

For extra space I would go for this Givi one or the old E52:

Although it looks awful on a GSA IMHO. All other models will probably struggle with two lids.
