As far as I'm aware, Honda never made an official topbox mounting for the Bird.

Welcome to BIRD :)
Honda never made one available because of the wobble they cause at 40mph when slowing down ( but only if you take your hands of the bars so...... )
Some peoplle have used a Rentec rack and mounted a box on that, but more commonly a Givi rack and box has been fitted
Not quite a straight forward fit, but easily managed with basic tools and a bit of work to modify as needed

I used to bungee a large Givi bag (Voyager?) over the back if I needed to carry stuff that wouldn't go in my massive tank bag.
