top box removal st1300

Hi folks and a belated Merry Christmas from Western Australia. My first post so be gentle with me as I've only had my '08 ST 1300 for a couple of weeks. Can someone please tell me how to remove the top box from this model, cheers, Davidhttps://www.st-owners.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif
 
Use the trunk key to unlock the rear handle and lift it up. Not the part that opens the box but the handle. You'll feel the rear of the box come loose and lift. then just move it a little forward and it will lift off.
 
Thanks for that, I apologise for not looking at the obvious, it's the same removal technique as on my previous bike, BMW R150RT. I will make my next enquiry more challenging!!! David

I was stumped on how to remove that box. I'm glad I finally found this post because when I removed the box I discovered the mounting hardware was loose! Thanks Byron!
 
The Honda top box mount is designed to have some movement, it may not be loose, it maybe correctly installed
 
You may be correct but having the ability to move the box from one side to the other within the slot seems wrong to me. I added a washer under each bolt and now it is rock solid and centered.
