Hi top box people

I am now apart of the top box brigade

Question

how much over the limit can I go?

I've got a box with a 10kg limit but the rack has only a 6kg limit

things in the box

padlock and chain

waterproofs

spare gloves

spare visor

what else?

Not sure how much over you can go, I used to use a top box but ended up with it coming off on the motorway....an expensive day that was, laptop, camera, glasses.....squished. epic fail.

something to fill holes in tyres ,, Ho yes, some squirty stuff & wipes for cleaning flies off the visor

If its a Givi

The "monokey" is designed for heavier loads and faster speeds.

The "Monolock" is not recommended for high speed and carries about half the weight even though the box is the same size.

Monolock is more for scooter type commuting and is less than half the price.

Ducktape is a must for any topbox

ive got a givi rack and 45 litre box rated for 10kg but have had a 15kg box of chicken fillet in there had to leave the lid up slightly but it took the weight well for the 20 min journey I had

i work for a meat company i buy in bulk it saves paying £5 plus a kilo for fillet from a supermarket when its roughly half the price at work
