Looking for a small top case

Would love to add a small hard shell top case for touring on my RS, to augment the storage of my factory side cases. Something like 15 liters would be perfect. I haven't seen anything under 25 liters. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like Twisted Throttle has the Kappa box branded as a Givi for $55 on backorder.

Kappa has a 26 liter. Probably bigger than you want.

That Givi 14 liter might be the best option. I'm guessing it's designed to hold a bicycle helmet, so lower profile than the other Kappa boxes all made to house a full face motorcycle helmet.

Looks good too, similar to what I did with my SW Motech. Timo, as in Glock?
I mounted Pelican cases on the side and top. They're waterproof and at least as strong as the aluminum cases.

Did you use stock racks or aftermarket ? Can I ask the cost
Thanks

I used to have it on 2010 R12R and still have it on a shelf in my garage. I will probably use it replace my existing 24 ltr top case, now that I have the Shad 36 ltr side cases. I don’t like the top case too high and overhanging the bike in the back. I use it basically just for documents, phone, gloves and other items that I frequently access during a trip.

If you could upload a photo of it mounted, that would be awesome.
I am just “considering” to mount it. On the Kappa version, there is a handle on the right side sticking out, not sure why they put it there as it is intended as fixed/non-removable install. I just cut it off. I do not have the 2010 R any more, here is the only photo with the box that I have.

Thanks for sending - looks like a good size, not too tall.
