[QUOTE="Cav47, post: 1319542, member: 87133"] It happens every trip. At some stage of trip planning, we all start thinking about what goes where. So on the trip to Red Lodge, I am doing a Saddle Sore across the plains. So from a wind standpoint, the top box seems to catch more than I appreciate. Economically, it sucks fuel, minor amounts I know. The real reason is I just hate the way it looks. I am laying out all my stuff and wrestling with what I should, have, want to take. The other aspect is the utility of it. Waterproof, swallows my huge computer, perfect height to throw misc. stuff in. Extra room for rain gear, camping gear, "drinks" and almost anything else. Secure place for electronics upon stops and rain protection. High mounted brake light for idiots in cars. Place for souvenirs for the family. I could get by without it this trip, but I could use the extra room for stuff to make the trip more comfortable. Did I ever say how ugly it makes the profile of my amazing 2004? . So it really comes down to form vs function. [/QUOTE]
