    I finally got round to buying one for the bike, and was wondering what
    those of you who have them do about their security.

    Do you take extra precautions or trust to the existing locking
    mechanisms?

  2. FFS, if someone wants to break into a topbox, it's not going to take
    dynamite or an oxy-acetylene torch.

    It's for keeping stuff out of sight. It's not a Chubb safe deposit box.

    We don't leave anything on the bike we can't manage without.

    Valuables: Camera et, etc go in the tank bag and come with when off
    bike.

    Spare clothers, tattered spare shreddies, T-shirts, spare bunjees low
    value stuff go in the tail-pack and is bunjeed to the pillion, no too
    much heartache if it goes walkies.

    Other stuff goes in the top box. Most useful as a helmet store when
    parked up and for a rucksak instead of a tankbag being used for
    valuables when on the move.

    That was what we'd considered. We'll use the top box for taking
    flasks, portable barbies etc and leave the helmets and jackets in it
    when we wander off for a while.
