[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1319563, member: 27852"] I put off getting a top box for several years, including one with the Gen 1 FJR. Thought it looked like a big pimple on my arse. When I started camping, there was no choice. Since then, I can't imagine touring without it. They are just so dog gone convenient. The box is bottomless and access to it is immediate. With the camping bag strapped on the pillion seat, access to either saddle bag is tough. I think the V46 looks pretty decent, especially with the color matched lid for my '14. FWIW - while I didn't notice much difference in the handling with the top box on the Gen 1 (especially at speeds below 80), it is even less (barely noticeable) on the Gen 3 bike. So Josh - get off your butt and find a Gen 3 - in the name of top box aerodynamics, if nothing else. In the meantime, pack the top box and bring it. Just do it. [/QUOTE]
