Top box for Honda CBF125...

[Adam_M]

Hi all,

It might be the tiredness that's setting in or the fact that I've no idea what I'm looking at, but does anyone have any suggestions on what to go for regarding a top box for the Honda CBF125?

I'd probably be asking a bit much if it could hold both a helmet and jacket in there!

Also, will a top box noticeably effect performance on a 125? Whilst it won't be an issue with future bikes, it certainly is something that worries me with this one.

(sorry this probably gets asked by every newbie! )

Thanks,

Adam

Well I can say that i don't really notice a difference on my ybr 125. I have a 37 litre top box cheapie off ebay and doesnt seem to affect performance. Even with my padlock chain and work bag in it i still easily do 55-60mph on dual carriageway (70mph with the wind behind me )

Hello

I have the official Honda topbox on mine; one like this, in 26L:

When I park up at the station, I can fit my gloves, textile jacket and trousers in it (with the waterproof linings in) - with the helmet in, I can fit the trousers but no way will the jacket fit. Perhaps the larger 35L would manage it, but I don't know for sure.

Unless you fill your topbox with bricks, I doubt you'll notice any difference - my security chain is 7kg on its own and I didn't notice anything other than more rattling

HTH!

It did help! thanks, though it took me many months, I finally have the 35L on mine. I think if I squeeze it, I can just about get everything in there. Looks smarter than the Givi ones too!
