Buy the one you like best.
When I had a white PCX I fitted a white topped Givi E300B to match but they have been discontinued.
If I was shopping today, I would buy one of these

Re: which topbox?
I have a Shad. It stays put and keeps things dry. I bought it because I thought it looked cooler than the Givi.
Between the two, get whatever you want - hard to go wrong - just make sure you get the correct mounting plate - the Honda one will not work (learned that one the hard way..)
Good luck on your topbox searches...

I've had a few Shad boxes now and prefer them to Givi.

I have a Givi 45 monolock and it works great or as expected.... it opens and closes, and attaches and detaches as it is supposed to

Re: which topbox?
These are both high-quality options.
If they're both easy for you to get, I would flip a coin
and move on to the challenge of deciding which model you'd like best.

I used SHAD 29. It's big enough to hold my XXL modular helmet and riding gloves. Or a bag of grocery.

Re: which topbox?
My opinion, don't get the Shad if you like quality motorcycle accessories. I would get ahold of "TourandRide.com" and look into a 'Kappa' Topcase. Same as a Givi, but does not cost near as much. I have a Kappa 35L and have had in on 4 different motorcycles. I have to order a Givi mount for PCX to mount it again. I have the Hondaline trunk and mount now. That trunk is the cheapest trunk I've ever had. It came with the scoot so I'm glad I didn't buy it.
2013 PCX150, GIVI tall w/s, Hondaline topcase, Tusk 15mm handlebar risers, NCY Variator, NCY Drive Face, NCY 13gram rollers. (I put a brand new Honda OEM belt on), R- Michelin City Grip, Front- Michelin City Grip, 10w30 syn with 2oz of MotorKote, GrabOn grip covers.
2013 Honda CRF250L
2-2005 Honda Metropolitan's,
I have always had big displacement road bikes. I'm now into the "small revolution."
I just need one more 2 wheeler!!

Re: which topbox?
I believe Honda topcases are manufactured by Shad.

Actually, I was thinking of this one...
Although on soberer reflection, I'm more partial to the guy in this one...

Re: which topbox?
It's a scooter, not a motorcycle. Gee. Unless it is super nice, (like a PCX :-), then there isn't much more to be said for it. Now the PCX and Forza are like motorcycles. That is what makes them special....but I am biased.

Are you replying to the Tron-alike commercial or the one with Grace Jones or both?
Just curious, since they're both excessively macho (for a scooter, anyway).
