How big a top box do you like?

[Tokkyu40]

I just bought a new 2020 PCX150 ABS and I'm looking to upgrade the utility. I've already ordered a windshield, so now I need a top box.
What boxes do you recommend? How big can I go without affecting the handling at high speeds? The roads in San Diego are pretty fast.
How big looks too big to you? I'd rather not have the "steamer trunk on a roller skate" vibe going.
One option is a 33 liter Shad. Is that too big, too small or does it blend in to the lines of the bike fairly well?
Feel free to boast about your box here. I'm looking for any wisdom I can find.

That may be the sweet spot [33] especially if you plan to keep it on all or most of the time. Most of my riding is w/o the box.
Think mine is about 35 liter [Kappa]...... and it holds plenty.

Thanks. I'll hunt around and see what I can find in that size range.

I use the Givi 34 liter. I really like it and adding the light kit along with a Skene Tail/Brake Light Controller give me great visibility.

I think anything around the size you're talking about is a good size and adds a lot of functionality.

That Givi looks great.
I found a 37 liter Monolock and a top case adapter to fit the PCX on Amazon for about $250 after taxes. I'll probably grab those and a set of mirror extenders (I can see my arms really well!) next month after paying my current credit card bills.

You guys are really helpful!

Hopefully this will be helpful

I don't have a top box... but if I was going to get one, I'd get one that's slightly narrower than the front handle bar and in the tallest size they come in.

Already ugly, might as well make it ugly but super useful!

I use a Shad SH 33 because I think it's a good combination of utility and style, the bigger the top case the more it vibrates and makes noise.

I love my Shad SH39 - lots of storage space and I've never noticed any rattling.

Hey Dankly .. like your set up. Whats the model # of your box. I didn't see it on GIVI , thanks. Just receiving a new PCX tonight

[Twinmgmt]

Hi ! Just curious did you need anything else to mount the box on your scooter ? I was quoted Givi part no. SR1190. Did you need this part ? Thanks H.
