Title: other sidecase options
Post by: 75rtpaula on June 11, 2014, 10:58:13 AM: hi all i've had "paula" my 95 k75 for a while now and i havent had the side cases for any of it, my dad lost one of the lids going down the highway before he sold the bike to me, i want sidecases but from what i've heard the factory cases have lots of problems, with hinges, latches etc, so my question, what is a good option for other brands and kinds of sidecases?

i know that I like the look of givi cases, and they would look good with the givi topcase that i already have

thanks in advance for the input

Currently there are City Bags on there, a bit expensive for me, and I like the bigger bags. I just sold a set to a guy on this site, keep looking here too!

The only rack I've been able to find is the Hepco-Becker Part No. 650615 00 01
