[QUOTE="stevet, post: 937686, member: 6036"] I used top loading Pelican 1430 (small) and 1440 (large) as side cases on my VStrom 650 and they were bombproof. The 1550 as a top box is a wonderful way to go, just keep in mind you can't stash a helmet in this box, though, if that is important to you. And it is heavier than just about any dedicated, motorcycle specific case you could use as a top box. Pelicans do come in a few other colors than just black, just in case you're curious. I used their silver cases on my blue VStrom. Case Club is the place I bought mine from- [URL="https://www.pelicancarryingcases.com/medium-pelican-cases.htm"]https://www.pelicancarryingcases.com/medium-pelican-cases.htm[/URL] $114 for the case (no foam inserts, foam is extra if you want it). I line the bottom of my top case (Givi at this time, and the Pelican side cases before) with some thin egg crate foam from an upholstery shop, helps keep stuff from flopping around too much, and adds cushioning for things like camera gear, etc. Any of you 1550 top box owners using the factory rack as the box mount, or have you gone to plan B?
