New Top Box ?????

[Neil W]

Looking to replace my Givi maxia (its going as part of the sale of my 1150 ) to go on my new 1200 GSA with standard BMW panniers.

I'm looking at either the:

HEPCO and BECKER 42L Xplorer

SW Motech TRAX 42L

GIVI E46 Explorer

Anybody have experience of the above, are the first two easily removeable like the GIVI or are the bolt on only jobbies. We tend to use the top box as a case carrying the day to day stuff when travelling down to the Alps.

Any advice welcome, btw I'm not interested in going down the Touratech type route

Have you thought about the Givi Trekker?

Settled for the Givi 46l trekker box and plate in the end , seems okay so far and only took 20 minutes to fit the plate and get it set up right.
Looks like it won't take two helmets like the old E52 maxia but will check tomorrow.

does it fit 2 helmets?

Not a chance , an excellent box but I think you would struggle to get 2 open faced helmets in (it will not take one large and one small Schuberth C3).
I'm looking to find a local stockist with the new 52l Trekker in stock to see if it will take two lids and if so will be changing mine
