What's that noise...?
This morning I cleaned out ... well, a bunch of stuff.

Amazing -- I have room for my helmet now.
 
I have a Givi top box I put on the RS. I don't keep the top box on as a usual course, so I empty it out and stick it back on the shelf after I get home. Usually, it carries my computer bag, a lock and my shoes.
 
My top case carries a first aid kit, rain gear, tire repair goodies, stuff I am planning on installing soon, extra gloves, a vest, and other stuff that I may add from time to time. I ride 2 up usually on the weekends, and my passenger likes the backrest provided. I suppose that I should keep the dang thing cleaner, but I would rather ride than clean. :D
 
For my part, I found:

35 or so gas receipts that were promptly shredded
2 Lowe's receipts that will go into my business deductions file
2 tire guages
3 pair of sunglasses: (2 in cases and 1 pair of clip-ons just rattling about)
1 tire repair kit
1 calculator
8 business cards from various people
1 red shop rag
1 bathroom hand towel
2 cassette cases but only 1 tape
1 reflector that came off the side of the rear fender
2 pair of matched gloves and one odd glove with no mate
1 zip lock bag containing tag and insurance papers
1 broken key ring
2 tooth picks

Other miscellaneous paper scraps -- mostly toothpick wrappers.
