Terrible
It's as bad as Explorer. W1:How did you buy it?
This is the first time I've seen this product. I've been using their Explorer for 9 years now, but the cracks in the plastic frame are steadily progressing. I've been using it for 9 years by reinforcing it and waterproofing it, but the cracks in the plastic frame have been progressing steadily, and even if I re-cast the Rivet or added a reinforcing frame, it would still fall down. I had no choice but to replace it.
To be honest, I was tired of HEPCO's products, but on a certain site However, one of the sites was selling Gobi at a low price as a stock clearance, and I was able to use the mount. ALLMaterial:I bought it thinking that since it was Plastic, it wouldn't be like Explorer (I was naive). I bought it thinking that since it was plastic, it would not be like Explorer (I was naive).
2:Appearance
The color of the black part is also Color.:Unpainted. I bought the DELUXE with Silver lines, but again, it's not resin plate or anything like that, it's just Sealw.
The resin is generally flexible, but the GIVI feels softer. This is a concern when operating a single-cylinder motorcycle with a lot of vibration.
3:Capacity
The inside of the box is double-layered, including the lid, so you can imagine a cooler box without Heat Insulating Material. The lid is also double-layered, so you can only put in smaller items than the large size of the box, and I'm afraid that the heads of the Bolt and Rivet might damage the Helmet and Shield.
The overall thickness of the product gives it a certain rigidity even with the lid open.
4:The problem (here's the main point)
? Fixing method is messy & lax.
(Photo 1) This is the fixed part of the front side of Case, and there is a gap of about 2mm in the area circled by the red line.
There is no longitudinal rattle in the new condition because the Mount Pipe and Case are tightly connected in the area surrounded by the yellow line, but there is a high possibility of rattling due to the distortion and crushing of the Panel over time.
(Photo 2) I attached a 3mm thick Rubber Seat to the Case side to make it stick.
Arai SZ−RAM4(XL) XL) does not fit
(Photo 3 & 4) I didn't check it beforehand, but I thought it was too much for 42L capacity... orz
It's a pitfall of the double structure. I'm going to try to solve this problem by modifying the lid side, because the magic field increase is essential for HEPCOBrand.
? The retractable shaft is not a hinge, just a plastic platew
(Photo 5) It's been a short time since I bought it, so I can't say it's an endurance test, but it's already gone white after about 10 times of opening and closing. What was I thinking?
Well, if this place looks like it's about to be torn to shreds, I'll go to the home-centre and use Material.:I'm going to buy some stainless steel hinges and install them. It seems that HEPCO's company policy is to let users do DIY without question (smiles).
5:General Comments
HEPCO & Co. BECKER is a company that destroys the image of Germany as a country of craftsmanship and quality products. It's a very good company. If you are going to buy a new box, you should buy GIVI no matter what.
I would also buy a GIVI without hesitation if there is a Top & Pannier case mount available for my motorcycle.View Detail
