Givi Trekker 46L Top/Side Case?

[rem]

Good morning from the frozen north. Not being able to respond to your specific question, I have a Givi 46 L top case on my ST 1300. It is a solid piece, as Colorider says, and the attachment to the bike is customized and very well engineered and solid. I wouldn't hesitate to invest in other Givi products. R

46L appears to be a bit too big. I think I would be happy with a 35L Topbox.

The proportions look good on the ST1300, at least to my eye. However, I think the smaller the better. If you don't need the volume, then definitely get something smaller. I seem to always run out of space. Probably just a poor packer. R

I can post some pics if anyone wants to see, of a 46L on my Honda. Not sure how to do it.

Rem, I would like to see that.. I am trying to decide between the Givi E460 and V 46 liter monokey. It looks like one is not as tall as the other.
Thanks

OK. Do I just go down to Additional Options, then select the files? I tried that and then hit Preview, but couldn't get anything. I don't want to post huge pics. I've never posted pics before. R

Rem, we are in the same boat. I've never post a pick on this forum either.

Trying,,,,,

Ok, looks like something was added. When you go to the reply window, look at the bottom for Additional options, then Attach. Click on browse and find your file where the pic is. Click on the pic file and it will put it in the Attach file bar. Click post and you are done..

OK I resized the pic. I'm thinking it's huge. Here goes. I hope I'm not severely reprimanded for messing up. R

Hey, neato. Here are three more. Hmmm can only get one at a time. sorry R

 

[rem]

Okay last one. R

Nice pics.. Thanks Rem.

10-4, no problem. I'd be curious to see what a 35 L looks like on the bike. I have already purchased the Givi mounting rack made for the Tenere. That way I can switch the case from bike to bike in just a tid tad. R

I will use this E55 N as a top case. I only used it last year for 3 months before I sold my tiger:

I think that it will look nice with the Jesse side bags. Es big but compact at the same time, i does not look bulky.

Nice looking ride... That case does look big on the bike, to me. Maybe it is the camera that makes it look that way? How much smaller is the E460? If you have seen one.
Thanks

+1 55 liters is big, no matter how you look at it.

I use the E460 on my FJR and intend to share it on the SuperT. Here is a pic of it on my KLR before I sold the bike.

Thanks Rod, I think that is the case I'm going with..

Yes it looks big on the Tiger but it is I think it is because the bike is to high on the rear.(actually that was a turn off for my wife: the high of the pillion)

Here are the demensions for both cases:

There is not too much difference between them.
