dyvking Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I'm looking for a reasonably-priced topcase for my R1200RT. Does anyone have any experience with the Hepco-Becker topcase that they could share? I'm looking at the Journey TC-50. How are they for overall quality and durability? Is the locking mechanism sound? Thanks in advance. Link to comment
John Bentall Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I don't have any personal experience of H+B kit, but it is always well rated in tests. I wouldn't hesitate to buy. The top case is a available as a kit including the mountings "Luggage Rack (Silver) incl. Topcase 50. Special Set in black or silver . Part #650640.0109". The silver or black of the topcase refers to the colour of the insert in the top case. Link to comment
BMT Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I had a Journey top case on my old K 100 RT and it was excellent. Design, fit, finish -- all good. I would still be using it if I hadn't lent it to a mate who liked it too much to give it back -- he ended up buying it from me and I haven't replaced it yet. My R replacement for the K came with a full set of luggage, but I never stop cursing the OEM top case ... Link to comment
Dan Gleebitz Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I have a 48L Journey Top Box. It has a silver insert which matches the bike. Quality is very good and takes two Schuberth Concept C2 helmets - Just! Link to comment
dyvking Posted December 17, 2005 Author Share Posted December 17, 2005 Thanks to all for your feedback. I went ahead with the deal. I had a chance to purchase this from a local fella who had won it as a door prize. So, I did a little better than retail, and he didn't have to ship it to anyone. It's good quality, and seems to hold as much as the BMW rig, but has a smaller aerodynamic footprint as it's only single-walled compared to BMW's who's double wall takes up a lot of valuable space.
