Siebenrock K T50 Topbox

[Bogman57]

Hi everyone, after a long search for a topbox and tragkorb solution for my K75 ranging from a complete new  tubular steel frame and matching tragkorbs to a custom job (€€€€€), I've taken the very pragmatic and hopefully smart approach and ordered myself the Siebenrock K T50 with the oem K series carrier. It feels really solid and the carrier locks securely to the box with the mounting kit. Total cost €251 including vat and shipping. Next to mount it, which hopefully is just a matter of drilling the holes in the right spots! Here's a few pics until then. Think I'm all set for my upcoming road trip to Spain. No adventure offroading planned, and figure the money I've saved (severe cognitive dissonance kicking in) will pay for my petrol costs for the whole trip. [emoji4]

I know....I really should have gotten that papal dispensation. I'd still use the venerable OEM box for everyday use if I could get my hands on a decent one.

Shortly after buying my K75 with a Givi Maxia top case I got a very embarrassing rash  :mbird that last nearly a year until I replaced the Givi with the iconic 22 liter model.  :riding:

Mine is not decent but it is still iconic.

So are typewriters but they don't answer emails. Sometimes I think we need to lighten up on what's iconic and what's functional. I can't fit a helmet in the 22 ltr case, or much else for that matter. Just sayin'....

You couldn't fit half a helmet in the iconic twenty two. My rain gear wouldn't fit. Enjoy your trip to Spain. I'm jealous. Be sure to take lots of pictures and post them here! Make sure to take a picture of your new box with a couple of twenty twos fitted neatly inside.  :2thumbup:

If anybody has been having trouble looking for this online, the model designation is actually Siebenrock TK 50.

Please give us a side profile photo when it is installed on your bike. It seems like a practical and economical solution for a problem some of us don't have yet, Bogman.

Will do. And thanks for the correction. Here's a stick pic from Siebenrock. I'll send a side profile soon.

As requested, fitted the box and mounting carrier. Feels very solid.

greetings...

the oe mounting carrier is not a substantial piece with its twist lock and all... there is a reason the iconic 22 liter sits flush with the bung instead of being cantilever like that hideous monstrosity...

 If anyone is looking for a 22 liter top box, I have several extras. Painted or non-painted lids. Complete, with or without the luggage rack. Email me, Mike

You might want to post in the for sale section. Johnny will buy them all.

That Siebenrock is what I have been looking for. I was looking for a 22 liter and found one locally, but the guy wanted $400 for it.  :hehehe

Reminds me of some Givi's.  Hanging all that bulk over the tail might make crosswinds more interesting.

Sorry my pragmatism and your aesthetic sensitivities seem to be at odds. These aren't exactly listed buildings we're faffing about. I'll keep the group posted on the sturdiness of the box, Hepco & Becker have a fairly decent reputation in this department.

Although I really like the design and cost of this top case, I think Johnny makes an valid point - will it hold up to carried weight whilst bouncing down the road given the increased leverage?

I anxiously await a road report after many miles of carrying gear.

my blow up doll... brunhilde... when not in service... fitts nicely in the iconic 22 liter...

I'm sure you're right, 10 kilos is the recommended load. I'd still like to have the 22 ltr as a normal day to day- kinda like having two suitcases, one for carry on and one for longer trips. I'll keep you posted, but as I said my initial impression is very solid. But not having used the 22ltr I can really compare. I wish Siebenrock/Hepco & Becker would reproduce the original!

I followed your lead and ordered a TK50 (with mounting plate) for $253 delivered to Wisconsin, USA. It seems that $250 is the going price for 20-year-old 22 liter, so I don't see how a brand new 50 liter from a reputable company can be a bad decision.


Thanks for posting this thread - I didn't know these existed.

Where did you order it for those interested?

You shouldn't be disappointed. I think it's fits very firm and snug. I'll  definitely be happy on my tour to have the extra space.
