I want to get a Top Box for my bike. Nothing so big that it would double as a small Jacuzzi, But big enough for a pair of helmets. Any comments would be appreciated.

Mike - only that is a small jacuzzi would fit two full face helmets. Big Grin

Actually, depending on the size of the helmets (e.g. 2 small ones), my Givi top box would do the trick. Popular with many RS owners.

47 LITER TOP CASE - TECH

Welcome to the forum Mike.
Two helmets will require a large top box.

Mike - you might want to check out these YouTube videos on the Shad expandable top box.

Here is the full review from WebBike World and their short video review is below.
