However, what a lot of riders might not know is that it’s not as simple as ‘plug and play’ with accessories like these. Some boxes sometimes need to be registered with the Land Transportation Office (LTO), and failure to do so will result in a P5,000 penalty.

The LTO has recently suspended the apprehension of motorcycles with potentially unregistered top boxes as it works on lowering the fines for violators, which means riders don’t really have to worry about anything for now.
