    Ok, gf has decided bike is not for her. I got the 45ltr top box new with the bike specifically for her to feel safer with something to lean against. This is now surplus to requirements.
    On the Honda accessories pdf it is £540 for the top box and rack, can't find a price for the carrier plate and back rest so say at least £600 all in.

    Pearl white in vgc, new owner would have to buy a new barrel set keyed for their bike. What do you fine people reckon is a fair price to ask?

    Can't help you with a price, but I do wish that either you had a 6th gen or I had an 8th. I would love to find a good top case for mine at a price I can afford on my pension. I seriously doubt yours will fit on a 6th though. Good luck selling it Nelix

    Thanks Randy. Really don't want to put it on ebay, couriering could be a nightmare. If it's not worth much I'll hold onto it.

    Personally. I would not get rid of it unless you have another item for the bike you want to spend the proceeds on. When and if you ever sell that bike, the top case would help to increase its value, or at least, make it more attractive to sell. You never know when you might want to take a road trip and need that capacity. I know when I bought my bike, side cases were an option put to me but I declined. I sure regretted that in the not to distant future back then. Of course now, I have used ones.

    My two pennies worth. Ooops. We don't have pennies anymore here.

    Craig did the dealer key it for you?
    If you can get the lock out I have the gates left over from when I did mine which should set you in good stead and save the perspective buyer from having to purchase a new lock.
