topcase or soft bag
hi all!

we are embarking on a 5 month tour around asia. we will be two up on a 1150 gs adv. on previous trips i have used a hepco becker topcase, however as i found out at rather unconvenient places the topcase holder is prone to breaking.
to cut a long question short: any tips for more realiable topcase or would you suggest using a soft bag (i use zega cases as side bags)

thanks

zion

I would definately check out the Ortlieb rack pack. Just finished 19,000 miles in Latin America and it performed flawlessly. Not a single tear and the long opening on the top makes it much easier to access stuff.
My only gripe is that the straps are not long if enough if you over fill it. Overall a great product.
