Hmm...is that a slipstreamer scoot 30? That's a novel idea on the PCX. Does it get in the way at all? Seems like it would be a mite bit close to the rider. If it saved you a bit of cash, and you're comfortable with it, I'd say you're ahead of the game.

Excellent bikes! They make a handsome pair :)

Is there a reason that you've put the bigger topbox on the PCX?
(Yeah, I'm nosy)

Okay, so I know the scoot on the righty side but who's on the left?
And yes, I did notice the White grab bar. Will you be going Red and White with it?

Looks like a Reflex.

When i first mounted the SlipStream, it was a little close to my visor. I therefore altered it a bit--bent the uprights back. Now it feels exactly right. I got it for about 80$ on Amazon. Does it beat a Givi? Well, Givi screen for PCX integrates better with the bike but I don't feel I'm missing anythng with my SlipStream.

I love the big box. It holds a full sized full face helmet and a fair load of groceries at the same time. I admit it doesn't do much for the looks of the bike. When I first started using it, I would take it off if I didn't have some specific chore for it. But it proved so useful and was so much more capable of accepting the helmet than was the underseat storage , that I very soon stopped removing it. All I have to do is set the helmet down in it and close the lid. When stowing the helmet under the seat I would have to spend time twisting and turning it until I got it angled just right before I could lock down the seat.Do I need such hassle at my advanced age?

The big one is a 2007 Reflex. The PCX is more agile, but the Reflex holds the road better at higher speeds. I love them both and both log about the same # of miles weekly.

I saw a Reflex the other day and thought it looked nice, with the back end looking a bit like the Silverwing, and the front looking futuristic. Too bad it has a carb instead of fuel injection.

Yes, that's the weakness of the Reflex--let it sit a week and it takes its time starting.

What model number is it? I like it because it allows you to keep the original windscreen on, of which I have a custom one that I would like to keep on.

Looks like a scoot 40. I just ordered the same style off eBay for my Piaggio.
