I found this. Fake aluminium box. ABS box that kinda looks like aluminium. Cons of aluminium box is that it is heavy. ABS box much lighter. If you see top rack from givi, swomotech etc most will state weight limit of 3kg/5kg/10kg including case&luggage. So most box alone will be close or exceed the rated weight. In actuality ihe rack can handle more but they absolve any responsibility if the rack breaks under load.

Indeed, alu boxes are heavy. But they do look good on a more "rugged" looking bike like the 150ADV. But I still prefer the cheaper givi monolock cases because they are much easier to take on or off.

And most rear racks only have a load rating of 10kg. So it is almost impossible not to exceed that weight.

If choosing a rack, find those with additional braces that mount to the rearsets. At least they have 2 additional points to support the load. Almost everyone i know with a tail rack that only mounts to the grab handle mounts eventually bend all the mounting bolts.

For the 150ADV, the more angular Antartica 42L box looks more suitable and really cheap. I bought mine from shopee for 240bux. The 43NTL ADV is wider and bigger. But also much more expensive. There is this new B45 top case that is supposely cheaper than the 43NTL.

Just wondering, is there a pillion bag (like this food panda bag) which can be locked and secure on the pillion seat?

I only need to use it from time to time. So not sure want full top box.

They do make tail racks for you to fit a grabfood bag. Its fairly unsightly and ghetto though.



On a sidenote, does anyone know who sell givi 3 pcs replacement locksets? I just want to change my panniers and topbox to use the same key.

Hmmmm..... Why do you need a topbox big enough to fit 2 helmets? You can't fit one in the 150ADVs underseat storage?

I don't think the 43NTL ADV can fit 2 either...you'd be looking at a 55 or 60l box to do that comfortably.
