Hepco & Becker Gobi - 42ltr, seems like a nice box.

It's supposed to be waterproof  :rain: - unlike the genuine Suzuki topbox & panniers on my old DL650GT !

(The rack shown on their page is a Generic photo, not the DL650 specific one)

This is the actual item:


The rack seems a bit expensive but is very strong & easy to fit to the original V-Strom rack.

An added bonus is that it positions the box further back than the Suzuki original items on the Touring & GT models, giving much better passenger space.

£222.61 for the box & V-strom H&B mounting. (10% discount using v-strom.co.uk in the voucher section!)

Nice one....
Quite pricy, but it does look good, more sharp and modern than the black curvy ones.

Looks good!   :thumb:

Where in Gloucester are you?  I spent a lot of time there boxing, also visiting my grandmother in Churchdown.  It really is a beautiful city, it looks as if it has changed a lot though.

nice, like it in white.

my mate has full Hepco and Becker luggage on his Adventure and is very pleased with it - especially now that he has the taps to use the cavity in them for carrying the tipple of his choice.
do you know whether the sump guard/skid plate fits a 1000?

Good looking bike in white, it's starting to grow on me. Great top box, sets the bike off well  :thumb:

I think the belly pan is for the 650 only, I know it has to be fitted in conjunction with the engine bars & they are definately different on a 1000.

I have an aftermarket SW Motec bash plate which fits either the Suzuki genuine bars or the SW Motec bars (the same thing). They're not cheap but set the bike off and are available in silver or black. Check out Twentyonetwelves K6 GT in the gallery section for pictures, Bry  :thumb:
