Top boxes cause all sorts of strange handling issues at speed on most of the bikes I've tried them on. The Tenere is no exception. Both the Yamaha and the Trax top cases made the front end weave and caused the bike to be even more twitchy in cross-winds, which is already an XTZ weak spot. A 40-60L dry bag cinched down tight doesn't seem to do the same even though it's twice as wide as a top case - I should imagine due to its rounded and more aerodynamic shape.
