I've had a bit more than that in my top box. Probably closer to 15kg-20kg with the weight of the box.

Givi tend to say "maximum load 10kg" on their top boxes and panniers, but I've had more in them without any problems.

Just make sure you up the pre-load on the rear suspension and you might want to consider checking the headlight alignment too so you don't dazzle on-coming traffic.

And allow a bit more distance for braking too :)
