    Saying that, im basically looking for any Aluminum top box under aprox £100

    Alpos boxes are great but they only make side cases.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    I'm not sure that anyone does the top box anymore, although Bykebitz did bring back the Alpos panniers last year.

    I had one on my 1200 but I must admit have never seen another. Caveman is no longer in business so I'm afraid can't help.
    You might be better off looking at another manufacturer

    No they don't. I had a top case but where you'll get one from now I've no idea.

    Re: "Alpos" Aluminum Top Box

    If you click on the link that BT kindly supplied and get to their site, my top box is the C series - mine is C29 which is magically 29 ltrs and fits perfectly onto a Hepco & Becker base plate mounted on top of the standard Honda one so I can still have the U-lock in the rack's base plate and the whole box does not sit forward of the base plate like the Honda Givi set up encrouching on pillion space

    It's big enough for what I want it for but not wide enough to create too much turbulence in strong winds. Not big enough to put a helmet in but you shouldn't do that anyway - If someone nicks your helmet out of the box your not going to get home !!

    02 RD07a RWB, Powerbronze tall screen, Remus Grand Prix, TT crash bars, TT pannier frame, Zega style panniers, Alpos top box,TT bar risers, TT headlamp guard, Heated grips, mainstand, Heidenau K60s for road and light offroad, TKC80s for the dirty stuff, Scottoiler, Autocomm, TT Zumo mount, Zumo 550 and most of all A BIG GRIN !!! Oh, and a very nice RD04 HRC coloured Marathon Replica

    I'm starting marketing these and the panniers in the next couple of months, yet to receive them aside from the sample, but I could be tempted to take it off my own if you'd like to get in touch.

    Us Terra Adventure riders got to stick together after all.
