This one looks really nice: http://www.philsfarkels.com/
A bit on the pricey side though...

I've got one of these for sale on here, as well as a Shad expandable top box 👍
Would do a deal for both 😬

That's a Givi monolock box re branded by Kawasaki. Bear in mind the max load recommended is 3 kg. If you want to do some serious touring and use it fully loaded you should consider doing what I did. Buy a second hand Givi monokey box and plate and swap it over for long trips. Doesn't look as good but holds 10kg. 4 bolts to be removed and replaced won't take long. Change it back when you're home.

That's a great price. That's the sort of price a plastic box should be,  not the crazy prices Givi and the like charge.

I'm not dissing the £25 top box above as I don't have any experience of it. However, other cheap boxes I've tried weren't properly waterproof resulting in having to wrap everything in plastic.
I've had several Givi and Kappa boxes ( Kappa is also made by Givi) and all have been totally waterproof.
New Givi are expensive but there are plenty for sale used. Buy a monokey for about £60 and you'll get that for it when you sell it.

O.C.

IMHO, you get what you pay for

I bought two 52 litre NonFango boxes back in the late 90s. Both are still going strong and should outlast me. Shame that they went under as they were Givi's only competition back then.

I had a pair of givi e41's on my last bike (MG Stelvio) leaked like sieves, always packed everything inside a bin bag.
£25 topbox mounted on my MG 1100 sport, so far so good.

btw for sale pair of e41's best offer??
