simple mod to top-box...

[wordsmith]

Quick and easy access to my wet-weather gear is essential if I'm caught by the roadside in a sudden storm, as might be the case on my upcoming ~4400km  trip into the tropical far north of my state - no time to rummage around in panniers!   Making use of the inner lid of any top-box is nothing new, but stuff can - and does - readily fall out when the lid is raised.   To hold my wet gear securely in-place I have simply run some cord around the inner part of the lid, through some small screw-in eyelets.   The cord secures the gear yet allows it to be instantly put into or taken out of the top-box.   Nothing new here, I know - others have done similarly using elastic net and the like.
