Bonus Time Coming For A Few Accessories???

I was thinking of a third play bike like a Honda Grom after riding my buddies a few times or a Yamaha TW200 (I have owned these in the past) but I think I will just pick up some more accessories that are missing for the scooter boys. I am really like the Givi V47 on the Forza but was unimpressed with the E370 Givi for the PCX (bad latching mechanism). I need at least 37 L.

1. Any good alternatives to the E370 top case for the PCX in the same size range? Right now I am looking at the Shad SH37.

2. I will also add some custom brake levers to the Forza and maybe rear foot rests. What other accessories are desirable on the Forza's? It doesn't really need any more power or speed. I have phone mounts w/ power on both now. The seat is fine for my height. The Givi tall W/S is a little too high but ok.

3. Lastly, looking for a decent helmet headset for phone/FM/etc. Right now I am looking at the Sena's. Any other good alternatives?

Can't go wrong with a Shad. Even go with the Shad SH40 with Cargo, which adds a rack where you can bungee even more stuff on top like a tent.

And Sena is great. They regularly update the firmware and the SMH5 and 10 got as many new features as they could add since it was first released within limits of the hardware. I think they hit a wall and so their new model is the 20S. You could take a chance with generic Chinese made stuff, I didn't want to.

I need to haul my collapsible fishing gear in it. :P We take the PCX camping and go to several giant lakes.

Do they sell the red inserts? Is it easy to mount on the PCX?

I saw part numbers for a red insert and a white insert. I would order the one with the red insert if possible. I only see ones with the white insert on the online stores I've checked out.

Ok cool. Definitely need red. I do like the spoiler/cargo rack.

It's definitely useful for attaching longer items. $199 on Amazon, you may find a better price elsewhere. I was definitely impressed by the added versatility of it when I saw it at the motorcycle show. It comes with a tight bungee that could handle a typical 4 person tent but carry along some extra ones to accommodate larger items. The spoiler is more subtle in person and is was probably put in place to prevent cargo from shifting backwards.

I would add the additional brake light as well for even more safety.

I wonder if their side cases can be adapted to the PCX as well?

I probably need to add a hi-viz helmet to the list of buys as well. A modular for sure since my 3/4 is already somewhat hi-viz. No Shoei Neotec, though, since my Harley buddies broke on the one side when he dropped it from about 4 feet. So they fixed it for free. His is a bit lighter but I feel safer in my $135 GMax GM54S even if it isn't hand made. o_O
