Hi,
>I'm going to get some cases for my '94 RD07, and I am not very impressed
by Givi's "more-than-a-meter" wide solution... :-)
>I've seen a picture of an AT with a Hepco Becker "case carrier"
("Gepäckträge"), and it looks like it is placed above the >exhaust. I then
assumed it would be symetric and not so wide.
>Thus, when I called Hein-Gericke in Kiel, I was supprised when he
suggested to use one 40l and one 30l case to >compensate for the lack of
symmetry!!! My German speaking is not too good, so I dropped a further
discussion with the >guy... :-) The Hepco Becker dealer here in Norway
is not an AT-expert...
There are several possibilities:
1.) You can use the GIVI-solution. I personally use two 45 liter cases on
the side and a 50 liter case on the top. No problems
2.) You can use another GIVI-solution: left 45 liter, right 36 liter, top
36 up to 50 liter. With this solution, you can a symmetric width.
3.) Use Hepco&Becker: I don't like them, but this is a very personal
opinion.
4.) Go for the Touratech one (I think they cut off something on the right
case, so that it fits good to the exhaust ??). Looks like the solution from
BMW for the R1100GS.
In general one can say, that with two 45 liter cases, the stability doesn't
get lost. Ask Martin ( :-))))) ), and he will tell you, that even with two
big cases and nearly the width of a Goldwing, you can go fast and control
that.
Greetings,
Achim
