[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1295165, member: 28773"] With regard to the top box, Dad and I both hated to ruin the "look" of our Sport Tourers with a top box. We resisted for years. "Might as well buy a Damned Gold Wing" was Dad's constant reply to any suggestion of a top box. His next statement was always, "But a top box is handy as a back pocket..." Now that he has the Givi V46, he has NEVER taken it off. Not once. I use mine a lot too. In fact it is on the bike right now. It is also a fact that what you carry will automatically expand to fill every available inch of luggage space. The jacket thing is a personal preference. When I am expecting a broad range of temperatures I always go to my 3/4 length "all purpose" jacket. My Tourmaster Transition 3 is not perfect but it has been with me through a lot of extremes. I learned long ago to carry a very small bottle of laundry detergent and lots of quarter to operate the machines at the hotel. In your case, lots of campgrounds also have a laundry room. [/QUOTE]
