Greetings Sport Fans,
I've decided to do another post on the Bestem Top Box as I have received a lot of inquiries about their product.
First a disclaimer:
#1. I don't have ANY affiliation with the Bestem folks. I don't receive ANY compensation from them. I'm just a poor soul trying to get by cheap.....so I'm simply just posting some stuff for those who have questions.
#2. I HATE TOP BOXES ON A NICE HANDLING SPORT BIKE. Yes, it is noticeable and it does slightly effect the handling of the bike. At my fat-a$$ weight, I didn't need any more stuff hanging up that high from the center of the bike. But in the real world, I gotta carry stuff in a secure place.
#3. The jury is still out on the longevity (long term quality) of the product. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 250 MILES OF EXPERIENCE WITH THE TOP BOX.
We shall proceed:
First impressions are really great. It APPEARS to be a bargain. I have here the model 2012 @ $69 delivered. It comes with everything needed (as long as you already have a luggage rack installed on your Sprint). It is very lightweight too. The paint job is excellent. Here's the link for more info...

Lookie below for more pix. This is the mode I usually travel in. I don't install the panniers until I really head-out on a long trip. Also note that this is a 42 liter and will hold one fat full-face helmet with enough room to carry the following;
Stop-N-Go tire kit with CO2 cartridges
Light weight rain suit
Medium size cable lock
Jumper cables
Two pairs of gloves (I have a glove fetish)
Windscreen cleaner kit
Of course with the helmet removed, it will hold a bunch of stuff.
