Yes yes yes :04biker:
I am so glad that I decided to go with the hondaline instead of the Givi.
I love the Hondaline Topbox. It looks awesome! :lucky:
I can't really tell that it is there. Doesn't really affect the handling at all.
It was expensive but I feel like it was well worth it. It matches the lines of the bike perfectly. Oh joy oh bliss.

I just got mine friday and love it. It says on there keep the speed under 80mph, I don't think it will make a difference. I go long distance, I bring the box. I ride with others touring, I might leave the box but who knows, its not a permanant attachment.

I ordered mine on Saturday...can't wait to put it on. =)

I am curious though...I could not find internal dimensions for the 05' box (or any year for that matter). Will one of your guys take some quick internal measurements when you have a sec? Dying to know if my briefcase is going to fit in there for my daily commutes.

I also gather its fairly easy to mount/un-mount...whats involved in mounting it?

TIA!

This guy says 12x12x20. Sounds right

edit: at least my laptop fits, including case by those dimensions.

Only tip I have to offer in mounting the box is read the instructions carefully. When you undo the front bolts on the bike them special nuts under side are going to drop into never land so be careful of them.

I found out about the forever gone special nut the hard - I think it did go to never never land

Trust me I don't think I'll be testing the upper limits of the speed band on my ST. Not that I don't think it will be exciting, but just don't have the need to go anywhere that fast :-)

There down there I used a magnet to get it back out.
