I have a 2004 Fazer 1000.
I'm after something I can attach to the bike which will hold a helmet, over trousers and jacket! Not keen on Panniers but a top box would be fine. Needs to be lockable and able to act as a back rest for the odd occasion I take my daughter on the bike. Also it would need to be fitted easily and easily removable.
Budget it limited but I would appreciate any thoughts on what would be best suited.
Top boxes are ideal. They are pretty cheap, I just replaced my old one, £26 delivered. It will hold 2 helmets etc. The most expensive bit are the mounting arms but once you have those you can mount different stuff.
They lock but they ain't a strong box or anything.
They come off in seconds, just one bolt with a plastic knob, no tools required.

Thanks for the reply NW. I had seen those that were large enough for 2 helmets but didn't know whether they would be big enough for what I mentioned in my original post. I'm hoping someone could advise whether they have a particular size of box that they know for a fact fits a helmet, trousers and jacket in.
Roll the trousers up and fit them inside the helmet and the jacket will fit in the place for the second helmet
Getting a jacket in could be a problem, if it has a back protector, shoulder and elbow armour fitted they are difficult to fold up .
I frequently put my lid and over jacket and trousers in the box, they fit in with room to spare for bits of shopping, lunch etc. I have got my bike jacket with it in too (armour but no back protector), I needed a little pursuasion to close but it swallowed the lot.

Ebay really. Not sure I would want someone using my box as a backrest though. They are sturdy but it's a plastic box mounted to a plastic plate, a mate has a givi one that isn't really any better. With the box you get the mounting plate and bolts, it's the arms that are the expensive bit.
