I broke one of the E140 side plates (only top-case was on at the time) on an off-road expedition I went on a couple of years ago:

IMO, they need a bit more mount support than is stock from Givi, as the repaired plate failed in light use.


Maybe the breaking of your rack was an isolated problem cause I have no problems with the racks (have them on all my three motorcycles)

I'm not sure what a 55 Ah car battery weighs, but I had that in a topcase more than once and the rack didn't break. (highway use)

I love my Givi cases cause it's easier to throw something in the topcase and drive off, than to be bothered with a backpack.

If you've got a 45 L case, you can store your helmet in it too.

You didn't read the linked thread, did you?

Do you have the 'E' or 'N' type sideplates on your racks?    :unknown:
