I've used both but prefer the hard tail box. The one I installed on my Hawk is removable and can be locked. Also has a nice rack when the trunk is removed. Here's my thread on it. http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=22247

I cant get pictures to load on here for some reason. I pulled the 4 bolts out under the rubber pads where the passenger handles are and got 1/4" longer bolts and used metal fender washers, then rubber fender washers to make it seal good and just bolted it to those 4 bolt holes.

Exactly! And it large enough to store a helmet.

I will let you know. I wouldn't be surprised if I get it by the middle,or end of the week. I almost cancel it after JerryHawk chimed in. Them hard trunks would be handy, and I think they would go especially good on a black bike, but I decided to stick with the bag, partially because I don't think I could get my boot over it. LOL. I also like the fact that the bag is more compact when not expanded. It was also ,about $15,, or $20 cheaper than the trunks I was considering. Not much $$$, but enough to fill the bike up several times.

Check out this recent thread by JOAMON and the modlist from his signature. It's definitely set up for a daily commuter/ long tripper. He has the same tailbag as the one posted above.

I just bought all this crap for my first big trip on a dual sport using it as an adventure bike. This week long trip will involve mostly dirt with pavement stringing it all together (hopefully). There will be camping and a hotel or 2.
I did lose 1/4 of my pannier storage to the side exhaust and the Givi box did not line up correctly with the available mounting spots on the Lifan. It’s ever so slightly not centered. By about 3/16”. But I already got all the stuff and am leaving tomorrow. So I ended up getting hard and soft as a combo. Seems to be working well so far in testing it all out. I wish I got all hard, Square boxes, but the budget said I was crazy to try that. This was the cheapest way I could get this much storage
