Just fitted my Givi E30 topcase on the back of my Kawasaki KLX 250.
Inside the case, it says the maximum speed is 110 Km/hour and maximum weight is just 3 Kg. I'm taking a 4 day trip next week. Won't have too much gear, but definitely more than 3kg and I will also be riding 130 km/hour in some stretches (on my recently de-restricted KLX).
Does anyone think this is unsafe due to the risk of the case coming off? Has anyone ever had their Givi case come off due to riding too fast or too much weight? I've seen 650 cc bikes with Givi topcases, so people are obviously riding more than 110 km/hour.
Also, I couldn't find a proper Givi rack for the KLX so I attached the case to the metal rack I already had. It appears to be secure as it is attached with the three screws that came the plastic plate which the Givi case is mounted on (see photos). The advantage of using my own rack is that when I have a lot of gear (more than the box will hold), I can take of the box and plastic plate and just strap all my gear to the rack properly.
Does it look safe?
