Insanity. That kind of money could net you a fine running ST motorcycle.

I like the Corbin smuggler but the retail price is ludicrous.

I have been able to find three Smuggler trunks in the last five years...all for under $450 each. Just keep looking. There is a silver 07 with a smuggler on the Wenatchee WA Craigslist right now.

Just to ring in here, I've got a Givi V46 Monokey top case (neutral gray color) with LED brake light and Givi backrest available. $100 local pick up or meet up due to the shipping expense.

I just do NOT understand Corbin’s pricing rationale on this item.
If they sold it for 1/3 of the money they would sell every single one they could make - but at nearly $1000 USD - there is no prospect whatsoever that most people could/would or should afford one.
For goodness sakes, it’s a nicely made little fibreglas box with some brackets - it’s not a frickin’ Faberge egg encrusted with jewels, ivory and gold. I could put another vintage Yamaha XS650 on the road for that kind of money....
....hmmmmmm.....
I had this one on my V strom , installed it on my new to me St, what do guys think? Too Big or Ok ( it's Givi 58 Lts)

Not too big if it's your turn to bring the ice.
I didn't know Givi made steamer trunks. Looks fine and if you're happy that's all that counts. Plus if your pillion ever gets too yackity-yack you've got a time-out space. And 58L is holds a lot of pies.
I like the way you think!
Just don't fill the thing with pig iron or gold bars; you'll find it very easy to do wheelies if you do.
Well one gold bar should be just fine. That's what I use for under the side stand when the road crown is too steep for stable parking. Pig iron is so déclassé.ibike2havefun said:
Given I'm in Europe, and the bike came with a top box, I've never known the brand. Anyone know a way to tell?
For info, I have the Honda branded saddle bag inserts, and a matching one for the top box. The top box also has a Honda branded carpet inside. Also has a pillion back rest on the front of it. So I'm thinking it's Givi/OEM?
I also have metal bars mounted to the top of the top box, and it's too small to for my helmet in.
If that spoiler fits my top box, I'll keep an eye out for unicorns crossing my path...
I own a Shad expandable that I bought last fall. At the time that I bought it the Shad website listed a mounting kit that I also ordered. The mounting kit never showed up and I eventually got an apology and a statement the they were out of stock and never to be made again. I made a mount from an easter european rack kit. A couple months later I got a call saying that they found on and did I want it? Of course I did as I had mickey moused a mounting and the box sat a little higher than I liked. In the meantime the box quickly began to have trouble latching open fully and I returned it to the vendor and ordered another. This one works perfectly and I used the credit with Revzilla to buy tires. The new box has worked very well for 5 months now and holds a large helmet or bags of groceries easily.

Everything on them was branded with Honda logos but they didn't make them. For mine I have the pillion backrest, luggage rack on top, carpet inside, soft bag for inside as well as the spoiler with brake light.
I’d be interested in talking to the guy. Can you have them call me 626-658-6014. Thanks Adam
Let me see if he still ahs it, that was last summer.
Thank you!
