I’m planning a longer NC trip soon and shopping for some different side cases. I have SW-Motech racks that mount Givi/Kappa Monokey cases. Over many years of experience, I have learned that I very much prefer top loading sides cases, not the split suitcase style. The current choice in top loaders is mainly the boxy metal cases, but over concern with my large dry bag on Dale’s rack interfering with the longitudinal lid opening style of these type cases, I’m not sure if the will work.
So, my question is in regards to the dual opening lid system on the Givi Trekker (TRK33) side cases. If you have experience with them, does the little top opening section of the case lid offer good access when used as a top loader? Or, is the opening too small to get much in and out of the case from the top? Ideally, I’d like to be able to access the case contents without removing the case from the bike.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
