Hi all, I recently fitted a Hepco Becker top box to my ST1100. The bike came with a rack, and I can weld, so I modified it to fit the H-B mounting plate far enough back to allow my pillion to have a padded backrest.
The Australian distributor seemed to be in a bad mood every time I contacted him, but the box arrived and I was happy with the quality. I'd fitted a R-Jays box on my BMtroubleyou years ago and was a bit unhappy with how the plastic coped with Qld sunshine, hence the change to the H-B from Germany.
It fitted up easily, but the catch wouldn't release to open the box. I contacted the distributor who said you have to push the lid in to make the catch release. I said it was a design fault. He said it was a feature. Since then I've regretted buying the box every time I've opened it, several times every day!.
After a couple of weeks the HB badge fell off, and again I had to contact the distributor. He sent another one and suggested this time I use a decent glue. I guess the factory use a cheap one.
It fits my two helmets, the reason I bought it. It looks ok (I haven't refitted the badge, don't want to advertise for them) but the catch is a real Pain in the derrierre.
Summing up, except for if you want to open it, and if you like badges, and if you want to talk to the distributor, it's great.
Next time I'll go back to RJays.
