Probably yesterdays newspaper for many on this board, but here goes.
The Pan European Top Box for the 03 ST/abs arrived last night from CBXman in perfect shape. I have to admit I was concerned about possible damage with the holiday shipping etc.
Anyway, I read the directions twice and completed the install in approx 30 mins. All went well. I added a little dab or two of silicone to each of the (6) black caps which cover the mounting screws. I did not have a great feeling about how they easily slid into place. They just look like a part that could work their way out at some point. Can't imagine where I would find a replacement. Givi maybe? I think I read somewhere that Givi is the manufacturer of this tour box, not sure. I stand corrected if not.
After the install and an ice cold beverage, I took a good long look at the ST. I have to say it really adds alot to the to the overall lean long haul tour look and design of the bike. I really like it. It will be interesting to see if there is any noticeable handling difference in the bike. I am thinking not. I see a rear brake light spoiler in the near future.
