Pros: Easy to put on and take off Cons: Can not find a top rack to fit it
"I received my new trunk in time for a weekend trip. It was very easy to install and worked great on the trip. It looks good on my V-star and will hold all you need for a weekend run. Reat nice to be able to unlock it and take into the hotel with you."

Not a bad deal!,
June 5, 2009
By tizmynfrom Oregon
Pros: Relatively easy installation, lots of room Cons: hinges are low quality and interior gets very hot on sunny days
"For the price it is a very good deal. Fairly easy to install. You need metric wrenches. The case itself is lower quality than I would have preferred but as I previously stated.. it is not hard on the pocketbook. If you have a siisy bar it has to be removeable and the pad on the case where your passenger would rest is not comfortable at all. The overall design of the unit is pretty cool as you can remove it and carry like a suitcase if need be. If you live in a area that has hot weather, this is not for you as it does not vent and does get quite hot inside."

Excellent Top Box,
March 14, 2009
By Darbfrom Coral Springs, Florida
Pros: Looks nice on a Harley Rocker luggage rack. Medium size does not offset the rear profile of the bike. Big enough. Cons: Mounting bracket is very poor fit. Took a while to mount and still not perfect. Bends easily.
"I installed this box on a 08 Harley Rocker. Finding the right fit for the luggage rack was difficult. After two hours of trying, I finally mounted the box. The bolts did not quite fit well vertically, and the brackets bent very easily. I used that weakness to follow the contour of the underside of the luggage rack. The box itself is good enough. One must handle it with care though, because the lock is a little bit flimsy and the box is rather thin. Other than that, it does the job well for the money. It looks great as well. Many people complained about the cross, but I like it. I decided to keep it."

Great Box,
February 19, 2009
By NX250
Pros: Great price , very room Cons: STUPID IRON CROSS !! !! ! ! !!
"Great low price alternative to a givi box. This rack went right on to my givi rack , all i had to do is shave about 1/8" of plastic off of the lower mount on the box. But why does it have to have that stupid iron cross ? ? Because I ride a motorcycle does that mean that i have to be into Leather , tassles , iron crosses and bandanas ? ? I covered it up with a reflector."

Trunk on my 250cc Scooter
Pros: Large capacity, easy universal mounting, easy to remove and take with you instead of having to empty trunk. Good Price Cons: I have None
"Trunk holds everything I purchased it for with room left over. It secures my belongings when stoping to shop. I believe it protects what I carry in it as well as any other trunk I could have purchased. I loved the price compared to all the others I reviewed on the internet.
If you are looking for secure storage on your cycle of scooter this is a great buy. If you are looking for style and money is no object continue shopping."

Well built & good value,
February 12, 2009
By StAlfrom Kearney, Ontario, Canada
Pros: Well constructed and excellent value for the money. Cons: Ugly "iron cross" on top of trunk.
"I have not been able to install my trunk yet because there is about 4 feet of snow in front of the storage shed but the installation process seems straight forward. The trunk is well built and appears to be a good value for the money.
My only negative comment is regarding the ugly "iron cross" attached to the top lid of the trunk. I removed it immediately. It should be replaced by either a decal, a reflector or heaven-forbid even a company logo."

Great trunk, low price, but be warned...,
January 13, 2009
By stealthfrom Dallas, TX
Pros: cheap as heck, roomy, same baseplate as the Givi Cons: can rattle itself until breakage
"This is a fantastic trunk for the price. I bought two of them 13 months ago, and would do it again in a heartbeat. If you get one on sale, it's the bargain of the year. Roomy to no limit, I can fit a full face helmet inside with room to spare into the larger 40 liter boxes I bought.
That being said, there is a serious design flaw with this trunk that you need to address. The baseplate does not hold the trunk tightly enough to itself. This allows for a little bit of a rattle as the whole trunk moves. In itself, this is no big deal, but you shouldn't let it stay that way. The vibrations can rattle the trunk apart at the mount points and destroy the trunk. Get a few stick on rubber bumpers from the hardware store and put them onto the bottom of the trunk. Rubber bumpers will secure the mount points and kill any vibration you may encounter.
It may also be of notice that I offroad my dual purpose bike, and that I own a single cylinder motor. Both of these factors add to the vibration, but I would still recommend the rubber bumper trunk mod, and I highly recommend this JC Whitney trunk. Awesome deal.
One more note - the maltese cross is a decal. It comes off easily and leaves no residue. The reflector is held on by a small fastener which can also be removed at your preference.
Enjoy your trunk!"

Great addition to a Buddy 125,
January 8, 2009
By Perkussion
Pros: Solid build. Looks like it would take quite a bounce Cons: Orange strip of plastic trim. Surfer's cross
"This is a good trunk. Very solid for the price. I would compare this to trunks that cost 2x. Installed easily. On a Buddy 125 you need the Genuine optional metal rear rack to install this trunk.
Double-walled base will probably make this trunk last for a long, long time.
I bought the medium (to keep in scale with the Buddy 125) and I screwed in Velcro straps to hold 2-11" fuel bottles (they fit inside standing up!) It's just great to have a sizable trunk that you can easily open and throw stuff in.
I painted the emblem & orange trim silver (the trim has 3 screws and the emblem peels off & can be stuck back on) -it was easy and looks great!
It really does hold a lot of stuff. Buy it. I'd be surprised if you didn't like it!"

Pros: Good product; great price Cons: Don't like the Iron Cross symbol on top
"I've ridden about 1000 mi with the box now. My essentials don't fill it. It has worked great. Looks good too.
I might even use them for panniers too, but the latch is too weak. I'd have to provide more support there somehow.
I am very satisfied with the product."

By Leslie1from Tampa, Florida
Pros: This trunk is exactly what I had been looking for! It is well made and roomy enough for a helmet & other items. Cons: None.
"This is the larger version of the trunk. It fits well on my Honda Rebel. Excellent price and value. It is well constructed and feels durable enough for carrying groceries and gear."

Pros: Big. Well constructed. Fits everything I need for work. Cons: cheezy logos and reflectors
"I love it. I had to remove the backrest portion as I already have an integrated backrest. I put on a Vulcan logo on the rear reflector. It has plenty of space. It can hold all of my 18lbs. of Photo equipment except the tripod."

CAN'T BEAT IT FOR THE MONEY,
November 20, 2008
By B2Drity
Pros: Cost! Cons: An adjustable inner strap would be cool.
"I installed the large trunk on a DR650 within 15 minutes. I commute to work rain or shine and it's perfect to carry my uniforms(Wrinkle Free), lunch, tools, and a bottle of liquor on the way home. It holds up well in the rain, fits my helmet, jacket etc. I dont recommend going off road without putting a bunjee cord to keep it from vibrating around. Ask yourself this; What are you going to use it for? Why spend 3 times as much for other brands when YOU CAN'T BEAT IT FOR THE MONEY!"

Great Product,
November 3, 2008
By dakotasouthfrom Charlotte, NC
Pros: Fits great on my Kymco People S200. so far is water resistant, been in the rain a couple of times. Cons: None that I have found, yet.
"Took me maybe 10 minutes to fit on my scooter, locks down quick, make sure you press down and lock it. Missed that step once. Double check the dimensions of what you are going to carry, if it is close to the case size, get the bigger one."

Great trunk for the price,
October 16, 2008
By PennState
Pros: Excellent quality for the price Cons: Maltese Cross
"I recently purchased the large trunk for my Kawasaki Concours. The flat black color matches the saddlebags that originally came with the bike. I painted the orange color black and removed the reflector from the back. I'd like to remove the maltese cross as well but that would leave a round divot in the top of the trunk. I recently saw a similar Give trunk and was amazed at how close they look for a fraction of the price. Definately happy with the price and quality."

large trunk installed on R1150R
(Click anywhere inside this popup to close it)
securely fastened to rack
Pros: Low cost, ease of installation, functionality Cons: None
"Upon reading previous reviews of this product, I was a bit skeptical. However, based mostly on the value of the product, I decided to take the plunge. I am very glad I did. I think that the unit is made better than the cost suggests. Unapologetically cheap, and in anticipation of installing this, or another (Givi, etc.) top trunk I fabricated my own rear luggage rack for my BMW R1150R. This case fits perfectly. Some people have commented that the supplied mounting bracket is too thin, inadequate for properly securing the trunk. So I was all ready to make my own. But this is simply not the case; the bracket is as thick as it needs to be. I found the attachment brackets and hardware to be of unusually high quality, compared to other fasteners I've experienced from China. I was pleasantly surprised to see they are yellow zinc plated for corrosion resistance as well. I find that the quick release and locking mechanism are made reasonably well and function correctly when properly installed and checked for secure fit. I installed a high mounted LED stop light for safety. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product."

Pros: Holds my xxl helmet, Like the ease with which it can be removed from the bike Cons: mounting hardware
"Overall, I'm very pleased with this travel trunk. It looks good on my red KLR650, and so far seems to be sturdy. It is big enough to hold my size 2xl HJC helmet, with room left over for other things. The mount allows for easy removal of the trunk, making it easy to take in at a motel, or just to remove while riding off road. The only thing that kept it from getting higher marks was the mounting hardware. The straps used to hold the mounting plate to the motorcycle rack were not very heavy, and bent. A quick trip to the hardware store and I was good to go. I recently made a 250 mile trip with it and it was as solid when I got home as when I left out that morning."

Pros: Great for the price Cons: Orange band around the back should be black
"I have purchased the large trunk twice, the first one came off of my bike in Alaska,(because I did not latch it on properly) at 70 MPH, hit the ground bounced once, then slid down the middle of the road. I had my lap top computer, camera and other great stuff in it. It got banged up pretty good, but even though it broke the lock off it stayed closed and took it's lumps like a champ, nothing inside was damaged. I like this trunk!"

Pros: Light, inexpensive, good shape, L holds full face helmet Cons: Construction quality mediocre, very cheap retaining straps
"I bought two large cases and have used them as side cases with an aftermarket side rack and they have served me very well. As side cases they do let a very few drops of water in, it seems at the handle/latch portion. The durability of the cases is pretty good, but the overall quality is average. The lid retaining straps are plastic and will snap if you allow the lid to fall open. I've since replaced these. They come with a 6Mo warranty which is great, and JC Whitney replaces them no hassle. I pack these to the gills and they hold up fine. Definitely a viable alternative to some of the more expensive cases out there."

Pros: Trunk is solid, holds lots of stuff Cons: Terrible "universal" mount
"I bought this trunk a few weeks ago and it seems durable, water tight, and very functional. It's big, has a big handle on it, and is a single key design (open/remove). However, the so-called universal mount isn't made for "plate" style motorcycle racks. The two cross bars made from throw-away, junk metal designed to bolt underneath your existing rack do not take clearances or surfaces into consideration. It's not difficult to modify the included plate to fit directly to my particular rack, but the bolts and cross bars were utterly useless for my bike, forcing me to substitute other items. That said, it's the best trunk on the market for my money, even when compared to trunks costing twice as much. Get it on sale, like I did, and you got yourself a screaming deal."
