- I decided to change the soft top bag with a hard top case. As a new adventure bike rider, I tested if I wanted a top box/bag with a cheap bag from Amazon, while I've been happy with it, the soft bag has let me down as it does not stay closed very well.
The new top case is quite large at 65L, plus I bought the one that already has the back pads included. I did buy some top box armrests to install so my favorite passenger can have a little more comfort. Links if you want what I have below. Windscreen no longer available.

I never even thought to put arm rests on the box. Imma use washers tho. And any suggestions to make the rear rack more sturdy besides lock tite n better bolts?
@@scaggit so far holding strong for over a year. I may replace the armrests and not cut them next time. They are more narrow than they need to be.
Doubt you’ll see this did you remove tusk rack to install that rack on it? How did you do it. I’m sad you didn’t show a tutorial has I can’t figure it out
@@thomasclark2262 it has giant washers for the under side. You just put the base of the box over the tusk plate and find wherever some holes line up, put a screw. The stock plate is way too small, it needs another plate to mount to.
How is the box holding up? Will it mount to the Honda rack or is the Tusk base (or similar) required?
Honda rack isn't large enough, I'd put something for sure. I have really liked the Tusk rack with it's many strapping spots, but I don't know any better this is the first rack I've ever had. The box is as good as new and holding up great. I load it up with all my work stuff or fun stuff, it's rarely ever off the bike. Happy with everything still.
@jaredgrow, good to know. I am wrestling with the price that Honda wants for the OEM 58L top box. I want something with reasonable quality... but I am a cheap ass too
@@coolhandchunk If you are sure that you love top boxes then expensive quality is fine. If you aren't sure, it's better to risk a hundred or two instead of a grand. I tried a cheap top bag and realized I liked storage but not necessarily a bag so I wanted to try a box. Now I know I like a box so I might actually spring for a whole set of hard luggage. We'll see, these things are a never ending evolution.
Hi there
Will the the top boxx plate connect on to the Africa twins stock rack ?
The plate for the box is attached to the tusk plate. Stock rack is too small.
Hi where do you bought that wind deflector?

did you just drill a hole through the box and armrest and tighten with a nut and bolt? I am looking to do the same for my g.f
Yes, there are supporting plates so it’s not just holding plastic
@@fatfingergarage1hows it holding up so far?
@@wizardz7938 still as good as day 1. I abuse it a lot, load it up, strap stuff all over it.
