Has anybody purchased the AlliExpress top case for 1250/1200? It's like 100 bucks including mount rack and needed hardware. Lone Rider's version is 10X this and I know I will not get 10X the pleasure.

It's a top case and this Alli units looks pretty rugged.

I have one from Amazon (probably Aliexpress, only more expensive) and very happy with it. Yes, you need "another" key, but over $700 for a BMW top box is not going to happen, plus I have a building key and a "dumb" BMW key for the seat and GPS lock, so what's another key that sets in the "glove box". I did upgrade the hardware to better stainless fasteners...just for peace of mind, as what was provided didn't look good enough. I do know a couple other guys that have them mounted with those components and years later no issues...you also get a nice, padded interior with it as well...has an interesting smell to it, but that's gone after a couple days.

Thanks GE. I see on Amazon. Curious what size you bought? Leaning towards 35L as I want something for local rides with no need for Vario panniers.

45L...full size helmet will fit in it, although I purchased a diaper caddy that fits perfect, keeps stuff from rolling around and beating against each other. Another option...I had a Harbor Freight "pelican" box mounted...worked perfect for what I was using it for, think it was the 3800...took an hour or so to figure out where to drill the holes and mount...if it was the bigger box I probably would not have gotten the one I have.

Thanks, I was looking for one but was worried about buying Amazon chinesium garbage.

I purchased from Jeff B for this reason.

Easily worth 100 bucks. Added large displacement washers to the screws heads and drilled one add'l hole towards end of BMW rack for one more plate mount. Clean. Recommended!
