The wonders of Ali Express

Faded buttons …… solution

The mind boggles how they do it.

Looks nothing like the original, completely different colour

I stop mine from fading by not taking it out of the garage.

This weekend at ABR, someone on a 1250GSA had their top box fall off as they rode past me on the way back to camp.

Careful what you get off there

I’ll keep you updated and let you know if they fall off

He was quite cross when I asked where he got it from. I thought it looked like a Givi but he said it was an ebay/aliexpress one for £70. My reaction I think triggered him...
He said it was the 2nd time this has happened too, imagine it comes off on the motorway!

At least he’ll have the comfort of knowing it was cheap and he didn’t get ripped off

I seem to have acquired 2 of them if anyone wants one or two even cheaper? one did fall off, but it was actually more user error than anything else

I'd rather not have them fall off

Now that’s a scary thought, a top box bouncing towards you at 70mph but, I don’t see how they can just fall off no matter where their made, it’s just a plastic box bolted to a bracket, either the bolts / brackets snap or a bad bounce rips the bottom out of it or, it’s fitted incorrectly and if it’s happened twice to the same bloke can’t see the manufacturer being at fault
