What topbox for 1150GS with Jesse panniers?

[MikeS]

Can anyone recommend a cheapish topbox (Givi/Kappa etc) that would work with a R1150GS with Al Jesse panniers? I'm thinking the pannier lids might hit off the top box if I get something too big...

Also, whats the deal with the mounting plates, is there a standard plate that fits all etc? Any recommendations appreciated!

Hi Mike

I've got Al Jesse's (with racks on the lids) on my 1150GSA with a Givi V46 Top Box and the Al Jesse lids just open without hitting the top box, any bigger top box and the Al Jesse lids would hit.

Thanks, I've got the racks on the top too.

Does the mounting plate that comes with the Givi V46 fit the GS ok?

Seeing the price of the Givi, would this be about the same size?

same exact setup. works great.

The Givi mounting plate is pretty much universal - fits the GSA fine.

Not sure about that box fitting, it will depend on the curve of the bottom part - it looks OK but without seeing it it's hard to tell.

Got a Givi E52 which works no bother with jesses.

I've got a H&B ali topbox and it misses on my 1100

1150GSA alloy topbox works for me.
