Top box too small

[Dreadnought]

So you get a touring bike and yet the topbox is internally about 10mm to low to fit a full face lid on its side. Tried all three of mine (bell, agv & shoei) all dont quite fit....

I fit two Arai helmets in mine

[Dreadnought]

Unfortunately dont have an Arai shaped head

Is the newer top box smaller as a GT Air II fits in my topbox either way.

The new LC top-box is sleeker, better-looking, introduces central locking but - crucially for some - is not as tall.

Which is why I still use my be-stickered 2005 top-box. Oh - and I am a tight so-and-so.

I have the 49lt topbox and can fit 2 x shoei neotec helmets in side by side.
I found if you take the carpet mat out of the bottom you don't have to press hard on the lid to close it.

I take the bottom cushion out and fir two helmets inside correct way up.

So that tells you that BMW engineers do not listen to their customers , after all £17,000 for a motorcycle is not cheap !!!!!

Exactly the same as you sir.

Due to the price BMW charges for a non-colour matched top box, i bought a new 49ltr box off eBay for £40. Ok it is not up to the quality of the bikes it does hold 2 helmets and locks. It has a large reflector on the rear which i fitted 3 LED strips behind. Really shows up bright at night and it's not too close to confuse them as a brake lamp.
£1000 for a top box is a joke on the buyer.
