Anyone use "top-load" side cases?!

[dxh24]

Looking into side cases for the V....don't really want to get aluminum boxes like many ADV riders get, but would like something top load, big enough for say, rain gear and a small amount of groceries.
SO...
Any FZ6ers use top-load cases?





P.S. Knowing me i'll ask this and end up getting Side load cases anyhow lol :spank:

If you have to have side load cases, why doesn't anyone build a hinged frame for the things? You could then load them like they were laying flat, and then lock them in place once you've closed the lid....

I've got Givi E21s on my bike. I love 'em. They're not huge, but they're big enough to be practical.

I also had Givi E21s on my Versys. They were big enough and blended in with the bike better than other cases. Although the V35s were my first choice, the E21s were better on my budget. :thumbup:

I use Trax cases and love them. I got a set of dry bags with the cases which make them easy to load and empty. The cases detach easily as do the SW Motech rails.

Hey Traf001, what make is your seat and where did you get it?

I'm tempted to make up a thread, just for fun 'anyone use side-load top cases?'

That seat looks comfy and well designed

FYI - the seat pictured is a Russell Cycles "Day-Long" custom. It is very comfortable for long trips but I have a Top Sellerie seat for day-to-day and canyon carving riding.
