Bigger top box vs OEM side cases clearance

[Ghostknight]

Hi everyone,
I am looking to upgrade my top case from OEM to something bigger. The OEM one doesn't fit my helmet and does not accomodate a backrest.
Does anyone know of a top case that will still allow the OEM side panniers to open?

Thank you!

The Givi Trekker Outback 42l size still allows you to open the OEM panniers. It is big enough to get a Shoei Neotec in it along with gloves and a few other bits and bobs.

I sold mine because of that and the fact that they dent so easily.

Shame that Yamaha didn't design the lids to simply lift off with a latch on each end. Then any top box could be used with them.

So far after 90,000 miles no dents in mine.
I’m glad they didn’t design them your way or I probably would have lost a couple covers by now. I just wish they would have designed them so they didn’t need to be locked all the time and you could open and close them without the key.
If they ever do design new luggage I’m sure there will be lots of improvements.

Yup, this is my set up. The lids will clear by about 1/4” on each side. I had an older Givi E46 from my previous bike that I wanted to use, but it interfered with the pannier lids.
