Top Cases

I was going to go with a tail bag, but I don't think I can secure one good enough for where I go. If it isn't secured it will walk off. Anyone using a top case? Any recommendations and any photographs with a top case.

Thanks,
Brian

Do you have the stock rack or BRmoto or other?

I have a BRmoto rack, with a Seahorse SE-540 ($60) bolted on with carriage bolts from under the rack plate, into holes I drilled into the box, then through rubber washers and fender washers, topped with wing nuts. Works really well for me. Plenty of room for all my rain gear, extra gloves, balacava and whatever else for my commute. I would pull it off and replace with a soft bag if I were taking it off road.

I have a cheapo Givi E26 on mine, attached with the included adaptor plate bolted to the existing TR650 rack.
I have had this same case on 3 different bikes so far, it has held up surprisingly well.



If I am going to do a lot of offroad or I just dont need the space or locking ability, I strap my old Suzuki factory DRZ bag on the Givi plate.

I have the BRmoto rack.

Here's mine. Trax - SW Motech. Works great for me.

BRMoto side racks, stock tail rack, but made a bracket to beef it up tied off the BRMoto. Then I have a Pelican 1520 case, carry a cable, and a lock.

Hi Ignaciob.

Favor. Can you share or post a pic on how did you made the bracket to beef up the stock rack?

On one of my rides my buddy behind noticed my top case seems to bounce "abnormally".

TIA.

This is mine, just bolted to stock rack 3 hole pattern. I will eventually replace this with a seahorse case and new luggage rack, with locks. Vintage utility case is all it is.

OEM Style Top Case as seen in the Accessory Catalog

Hello all....long time reader, first time poster here.

I opted for a Hepco & Becker rear rack combined with a Hepco & Becker Journey TC 30 topcase. The topcase design really fits well with the overall appearance of my Strada, and I think it will work as well on a Terra. It's also fairly capable, easily fitting my Schuberth R1 helmet, my wet weather gear, and a foldable backpack. The rack is IMHO a must have, in part because is sturdier than the Motech one (and obviously greatly improving upon the original plastic one), in part because it provides better handles for the passenger. The following are some pictures I've made a few minutes ago with my cellphone at work. Not sure why, but the case looks bigger on picture than alive, probably due to its slimming silhouette.

Took a couple of extra pictures to better show the silhouette.

Thank you..
