This sounds like you are trolling.

Yeah right. What about having a passenger then?
As other have suggested, take it to your dealer with top box ( so that at least he would be able to see your top box which we didn't)

To the OP, take your scoot to nearest Honda Hospital for full coverage testing (make sure to bring unseen topbox with you). The end
