Hello all,
Well,after few months of thinking about what would be the most suitable top box for me,here is what I decided:
first,I thought about the BMW top box,looks good,but is expansive,had many issues,and might be a bit too squared for me,I was looking for something "round"
second,I did not like the tripod of the 12 GS,because its too hight,when you add the adapting plate + the box, the center of gravity is not good,looks like a tower =
What I wanted,is something like the GS 1150,makes a continous line with the passenger seat.
So the 12 GSA came out,with a perfect rack : steal , low , thin enough,and has 7 points of attachment.
I ordered it. nice piece of kit,the price is BMW
after that,I needed the box. Givi ? could be,but I did not want 52 Lt,too big,after they drope to 37 LT.....too small....what else?
I liked Krauser,but finally I found the perfect size and matching box: a H&B 42 LT, black and silver!
So I ordered it.
It came with the standart mounting plate,wich is well done,stong,and easy to bolt on.Well,almost. to my taste(I know I am suffuring of mental desorder)
I had to add some rubber around the brackets,+ two pieces made myself with a door atachment (see pictures)...to maintain it laterally.so now it has 6 brackets to bolt on
finally,I fond the box attachment system well made,clever,as it uses two strong rails ,easy to clip on the plate.(also see picture)
OK then,I am happy,and to share my enjoyment with you,I taked the bike out the garage (It was stored for the winter) and made some shots.
1 = rubber added 2 = homemade bracket
The locking system
The only reserve I could say,is with this combo,there is no way to use the vario panniers,but for now I dont need it,because for long trip I use the car (easyer with the family)
A+ Pogo
last one,its Christmas !
