I'm fairly sure that I had one of the larger topboxes from them for longer trips on my Nexus.

It wasn't up to Givi standards but perfectly acceptable for around 20% of the price of an equivalent Givi! :)

I bought one decent quality and good value for money. Wish I had bought one a bit bigger though. It's not big enough for my full face helmet. Although I do have a big head

I've got one something like that. I got it from Freecycle. I've no idea why I went after it as I had/have no intention of fitting it because it's too big for my needs. I'd say it would easily take a full face helmet though.
(I can never understand these litre measurements for these sorts of things. As far as I'm concerned a litre is a liquid volume measurement. It could be for any shape, tube, ball etc. I need it in height, width and depth.)
PS. It goes down to a 30L box later in the advert.

looks pretty good to me. i paid that for a second hand box of a similar style...An Oxford I think... luckily my 'new' Innova came with a Honda badged Givi which can be removed from it's clever mounting plate so I'm sorted!

When I brought my last Cub back in 2003 it had a Rickman box on it. When it was first stolen and then recovered the box had been broken to get the contents out. I ended up with a genuine Givi but to be honest I think the shape of the Rickman is much more use-able.

Personally I think the Craven or even the Rickman are more of a classic style that suits the little Cubs. Those big round things look much to modern.
