I bought all the fancy options but opted for the JCW case and some paint. I had to draw the line somewhere. When I saw that the JCW looked to sit nicer than the rest I figured any box looks goofy so why not save some $$$?
Just installed the Bestem 929 T-Box on my NT last weekend. Went on fairly quickly since had experience putting one on my 650 v-strom. I am very pleased with these top boxes. They accommodate my modular HJC helmet. Most of the large top boxes advertise they'll hold a full faced helmet but my modular is just a tad larger than some full faced helmets. The first bestem came without lights and ordered them later. The second one was ordered with all the lights. I'm really pleased with these boxes as the lights are really bright hopefully keeping someone from rear ending me. Paid $130 with free shipping.I'm looking at a Bestem T-Box, anyone have any experience with them?
Great, thanks, I just wanted to be sure they were not junk...just ordered mine from Amazon for $113 with the light & mounting kits included and free shipping.Just installed the Bestem 929 T-Box on my NT last weekend.

Givi makes mounting plates specifically matched for some bikes. The NT is one of them. There are also other manufacturers, such as SW-Motech that make plates specific to a bike that can accomodate the various brands of top cases.I will probably opt for Givi as I think about this more. It just makes sense as you'll see.
My current ride is a Burgman 400. I'm not planning to get rid of it. It has a Givi e470 box. If I'm riding the NTV, I'm not riding the Burgman...so with top boxes taking perhaps 1-2 minutes max to swap out, why not just get what is needed to mount it to the NTV. Any ideas of what that would be?
And if those parts cost too much, I'll probably go with a Bestem or JCWhitney top box. The price is inexpensive and the boxes do what you ask them to do.
