It comfortably carries my 3-piece recovery straps and karabiners, jammer lappies, puncture kit, pouch with Hella-to-normal converters and the three device charging units, Rescusi-aid pouch, spare gloves.
Stuff I like to have with me but hope I will not need.
BUT BUT BUT
But be sure that you remove your wheel hugger when fitting it.
The vendor who sells you this will most likely mention this to you. But if not, be aware, when your suspension goes down on a bump, washaway or rut, the wheel hugger will hit the raidbox.
If you do not do something about this immediately, repeated strikes will destroy both the Raidbox and the wheel hugger.
Seen it, done it, bought the T-shirt.
RAIDBOX hits and damages the Wheel hugger
And where can one purchase said box?

All I need now are the pannier racks...(sigh). Anyone selling?
Or from Atlantic Motorrad.
These are brilliant additions to the bike.
I use the jammer lappies to fill up space and so no rattling aorund. now my Topbox has 3.5 l cpapacity more free space and this is very usefull.
Also available @ HAMMAN MOTORRAD
Corner Bill Bezuidenhout and Carl Cronje, Tygerfalls, Tygervalley, Bellville.
Ride Safe
I presume that the BMW Aluminium side panniers will still fit?
How much are they selling for ?

Ride Like the Wind
Oh yes, the side panniers fit in just perfectly.
This innovative device, pnce the wheel hugger is removed, occupies what would otherwise be wasted space.
The wheel hugger is there to cmply with European road legislation, and is not something you really miss.
This is the next item to add... the Pelican case first aid kit
Pelicam or Osman case is strong, locakble and in this config, out the way
Note it also has brackets that bolt onto the transverse pannier bracket. This is a DIY job. Not a bike gear vendor item.
