Re: Why not a Top Case?
I think GIVI could be enought.
Thanks friend!

Re: Why not a Top Case?
Pretty sure that comment applies to motorcycling universally :p
"I want to hurtle along at 186mph with just <2mm of cow skin between me and the worlds biggest belt sander" :p
But on topic can somone confirm givi rack works with side cases.
Would love to be able to use my old givi top box to hold helmets when 2 up (I wear casual riding gear, partner had to make do with my old bulky stuff so tha tg takes 1 side case)

Re: Why not a Top Case?
But it doesn't apply to motorcycling universally! The physics behind how a motorcycle works are clear. Whether to ride a motorcycle or not is a personal choice and there is no science based right or wrong answer. With regards to putting a top case on a motorcycle, the physics is clear. It is the worst possible location to add weight and the worst possible location to add drag.Tefal wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2019 9:42 pm

As I said though, it's your bike and your choice, but the science doesn't lie.

Re: Why not a Top Case?
You know, despite the loading characteristics of the weight placement of back 'top' box (I doubt many folks will over weight the box to cause stability issues for the bike), sometimes the need for extra storage makes a top box just practical. . . pizza or no.black-k1 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 7:05 amBut it doesn't apply to motorcycling universally!

Re: Why not a Top Case?
For some, they may feel that is the case. However, in over 40 years of motorcycling, riding up to 18k miles per year, commuting daily into the middle of citys, including London, doing 2 up touring holidays across Europe, I've never had the need for a top box.Prof J wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 3:40 amYou know, despite the loading characteristics of the weight placement of back 'top' box (I doubt many folks will over weight the box to cause stability issues for the bike), sometimes the need for extra storage makes a top box just practical. . . pizza or no.black-k1 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2019 7:05 amBut it doesn't apply to motorcycling universally!

Re: Why not a Top Case?
Givi rack works with OEM bags. Someone needs to tell them this as they state their rack doesn't fit.
Nice for additional storage on my 3,000 mile rides in the summer.

Re: Why not a Top Case?
Do you camp? What do you pack? Heck, I can do a 5 day with an 18L dry bag.
