Hard vs soft luggages for long trips

[bikerdoc]

Thanks again for the new info about luggages.

ChinaV or Lao Jia Hou, if you advise not to use the "quick release system" but to mount the trunk permanently on the support, would you care to detail how do you do that ? My meaning is : do you need to drill some holes by yourselves, or weld, or does the trunk include some "built-in" possibilities to attach it directly to the support without the quick-release system ?

Instead of mounting the topbox permanently to the base, why not use a stretchy bungy or two. This has worked 100% for me which allows the box to be removed using the quick release which I consider one of the advantages of the topbox, and it minimises the small vibration sounds that cannot seem to be damped out even with the use of the rubber grommet/plugs. In summary, I have attached the ADLO 981 topbox to three different motorcycles. Each has had the ADLO mounting base attached to the motorcycles permanently, then I attach the ADLO topbox to be base mount and lock it in place using the supplied keys. I have then applied 2 bungy chords per topbox, which are attached underneath the mounting base and threaded up through the handle over the lid and then down over the front and attached to some forward mounting point. Not had any problems using this method, and that includes riding on lots of less than ideal road/track surfaces.
