« on: June 03, 2016, 04:14:05 PM »
Having a heck of a time finding a site with options for hard cases and panniers that fit a breva 750? Any help would probably help?

When I went case shopping for my '98 EV Stein Dinse had the best prices including shipping on the Hepco and Becker Junior 40L (branded Moto Guzzi ) cases.

A few years ago, I had good luck with Twisted Throttle:

Mutazu

I can't support the Mutazu cases.  After only a few months I abandoned them and went to HB C-Bow soft cases.  The Mutazu... lid gaskets don't stay in place, the hinge mountings have open air gaps around them, and opening/closing causes rubbing of the surfaces of the box bottom and top and powdery plastic dust is all over those surfaces.  And the locks are feeble at best.  That's why they are cheaply priced.

For hard cases, bite the bullet and get HB Junior cases.  Moto Machines or your local dealer (who probably orders from Moto Machines, like mine does).

I bought a set of sidebags from them.  I sent them back without unpacking the second one.  They are unbelievably cheaply made and up close they LOOK cheap -- you could do better yourself with shopping bags and some fiberglass resin.  There is no consistency to the thickness of the material, as said above, the weatherstripping is just set on -- no adhesive -- and they don't seal, and the locks looked like they'd push through the plastic with a high wind.  The real sad thing was that they did not have the volume they advertised.  I called with my complaints and their first response was that their products are as good as anything at that price point.  Then they defended the capacity saying "none of those 20 or 40 liter bags really carry that much.  It's just a way of describing the capacity."  HUH?  Of course "20 liters" is a description of capacity.  It describes 20 LITERS of capacity.  Nothing else.  If your 20 liter bag doesn't carry 20 liters, its SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!!

They did allow the return and refund me +shipping.

I have Hepco-Becker both 30L & 40L bags + mounts for my 750 Breva.  Had no trouble finding them but this was a number of years ago.  HBs are my favored luggage, over Givi, Nonfango, Krauser.   Kafka are good but don't know if they make them for 750 Breva.   For a top case I use a universal mount of whatever top case brand you end up with.  The Breva silver grab handle has 4 built in mounts on it's underside for attaching brackets to.
