| Yes despite the cavernous storage under the seat, I want more storage! What do you experts recommend? |

A top box on top of the aluminum wing is great storage additiion. There are Givi, Besteem and JC Whitney top boxes. I have the Givi E52 (52 litres), which was one of the first things I ordered when I got my SWing. Givi now has a E55 (55 litres) ... I have never been sorry for buying the largest box. I have maxed my Givi E-52 and seat storage multiple times. |

| If you don't ride 2 up very often you may want to try this: www.cruiserbag.com They also give you a nice backrest too. I was thinking of getting one of these one day. But the topcase is the best option and then the crusierbag is you need more storage. |

| Typical choices are in order of preference usefulness and size. 1. Top box (You can also buy a rack that goes atop the GIVI and attach another bag.) 2. Tunnel bag 3. Cruiser Bag 4. Soft Sided Saddle bags 5. Corbin has a small compartment that attaches to some of their backrests. |

| Hi Again Shorty, If money is an object with you, I would recommend the Bestem 929 Top Box. I've been using one for about a month and a half and have had no problems with it. It's a good-sized one, measuring a hair over 69 liters. It's not fancy like the Givi cases but it does have an LED brake light on it and the whole thing looks pretty good too. In case you'd like to look for yourself: http://www.bestemusa.com/index.php?osCsid=1bdea3c55778f53b7caf3e73702b220a Also, to save $10.00 over the "Bestem" site, go to: CruiserBackRest site: http://www.cruiserbackrest.com/product_info.php?products_id=402. . At least it was cheaper a few weeks ago. Good luck... there's a lot of good stuff out there!
