Which top box 04 RT

[colesyboy]

Hi all,

Looking around at Givi top boxes or the SHAD expandable sh59x for my blue 04 RT. Need a fairly decent sized box, I like the look of the maxia, but can’t see any pack shots of it on the bike, has anyone out there got it (or similar) and can share pics of their bike with one mounted? Failing that, any other givi top boxes….. thanks!

Here is mine with a 30 litre Givi Dolomiti fitted, I also have a 52 litre Kappa box I could take a photo of fitted when I get back on Sunday. I think it looks okay.

Looks good - like the fact that it’s not bulky

Yes, that 30l box is smart and not too big and I have the other box for when I occasionally need a bigger box.

I like your tank bag , is it a touratech? Which model? It seems to fit nicely on the RT. I had one on my GS adventure and I can’t for the life of me remember what happened to it!

A 46/7 or bigger like a Maxia Giving will do two lids and isn't amiss on an RT... Much better than a standard box and my cheap shit box on my 11 Pan is probably more useful than myGive ADV style on my GS...
Also BMWs were designed for all the luggage so usually handle the same or better loaded up...

Thanks Wrigsby - in the end I went for a shad box - didn’t know much about them - seen them around and thought they were a cheap crappy brand - it they seem decent
