That is probably not more than 50 liters. Mine is 48 liters and also fits two helmets. I like your bix with all the reflection stuff on the sides as well

The case is much better quality than I expected. The seller shipped fedex also. If you're on a budget, I recommend this case. Here it is on a yellow bike.

Just bought one of these a couple weeks ago and mounted it the same way as Roaddawg did. It is exactly what I was wanted. It easily fits my laptop bag and office clothes - no more backpack for the commute!

My only quibble with this setup is losing the ability to get to the storage under the pillion seat. Something tells me I will have the SW-Motech mounting bracket on my bike by next year. :D

That rear trunk is great. I use mine every single time I ride. I removed my saddlebags for now. I'll put them back on on long trip only. I got rain gears, back pack and few other goodies. Now that i'm use to it, I can't remove it. Hey, I have one last rack if you care about one. Got the saddlebags support also.

I use mine every day. I wear my backpack and put my nursing equipment in the trunk. When I go to study my pharmacology and fundamentals books go in the trunk (1500 pages each) and it works great.

Yeah, not being able to easily get under the pillion sucks. I taped a wrench and screw driver in the trunk so that I could loosen up the bolts enough to get under the seat, if needed (to access the owners manual or tool kit...) Also, I put my reg and insurance cards in a ziplock and duct taped them to the inside of the trunk lid so they would be accessible. I love that big ass trunk!!

Anyone find a similar deal in the uk? few sellers online selling similar top boxes, but they have a completely different mounting plate :/

Desperate for some secure on bike storage so I can leave my stuff on the bike and not have to lug my gear around.

Unfortunately it seems like it'll cost a fortune top get a full rack set up.

Finally got a sw-moto rack (bought off the forum) and plan to put a pelican 1500 on it. Anyone done this before? I seem to remember a photo of Martin with one used as a toolbox but don't know which rack he used.

Suspect I can just bolt it up using some fender washers. If I feel ambitious, can grind things smoove before I do that.

Suggestions?

Roaddawg,

Thanks so much for posting this information. I just ordered the same case from Ebay and it will work great on my 9 day camping trip from Washougal, WA to Fort Bragg, CA. Was planning to use soft saddle bags as I couldn't justify spending the money for a Givi case.

Wife and I moved up here from Santa Rosa, CA about nine years ago, spent a lot of time in the Napa Valley area.

Thanks,
Chris

PS... How's the case do in the rain?
