Subject: Problem with maxia cases
I own an RD07 model and bought three maxia monokey cases only a few
months ago. These were the E-50 top case, two E-360 side cases and of
course the kit
that holds these cases including the new turn-lights. The whole system
was mounted by my Honda dealer and seemed to have no problems. I always
used the top case but had never overloaded it and unfortunately only two
months after use one of the two plates that holds the top case holder
broke(!!!). I was persuaded by the only logical explanation (problematic
material) and had no worries when the new plate was put (at no cost but
one month later). But at a typical greek road (this means a big hole at
the center of the road as probably Phoebus and Sakis know and most of
you will learn soon) the new plate broke again, my plans for Easter
changed a little bit and I really don't know what to do. I don't do any
hard enduro and never overload the cases.
- Has anyone of you experienced or heard similar problems with the maxia
case holder?
- Could it be a mounting problem ?
- Can I adjust the case holder and make it more endurable ?
- Any more advice (besides -"NEVER buy Maxia cases again")?
