First off want to say hello all, I am a new owner of a 2012 Matte Black Stelvio NTX on Saturday 9/22. I will be taking delivery of the bike hopefully tomorrow.

I test rode a 2012 Triumph Explorer 1200 and the Stelvio. Both bikes had their strengths, but in the end the Stelvio earned the right to make it my new bike.

What I am looking for is a Top Box now to complete the luggage set. I am looking for some input as to which top box works best. Want to stick with the aluminum ones since the paniers are aluminum

I started looking at these:

And

I can't seem to find the mounting bracket for the top one on the site, but I am sure if I called them, they would tell me which one would fit.

I tried searching for this stuff, but didn't come up with the results I would expect within the forum. If this has already been discussed let me know.

Thanks in Advance. Looking forward to actually riding mine.
 
I put the H-B 45L Explorer top case on mine. Yes, you will need the mounting plate, (Aulrack), that Hepco Becker sells. The top case matches well color wise with the stock panniers. What I really appreciate about the H-B is the fact that I can close and latch the box without needing a key. I know everyone packs differently. I put the stuff I need to get to in the top box. I prefer to only lock it up when I'm leaving the bike for some period of time.

Here is a link to the rack that you will need. It is a very nice rack with tie downs for when you desire to use it as a platform rather than a case mount: http://www.amotostuff.com/hepco_becker_ ... 01-01.html

Congrats on the Stelvio, and welcome to the Famiglia & Forum.

As you'll find, Guzzi is a *very* minuscule brand, and is largely over-looked, even for accessories. Myself, and folks here continue to try and find ways to make things work and offer solutions here. John above has sorted the top box issue for you for what you want to use it looks like. I run a Givi on mine.

Post again often, and be sure to post a pic of your new ride (along with yourself in the frame) in the Pic thread once it arrives.
 
I've got the Trax box. Decent construction. Fairly priced. You can purchase lock sets to make all of the luggage use the same key. Matches the factory panniers perfectly (same manf.). The only gripe I had was the mounting rack is at an angle that doesn't match the panniers and in my mind it just looks canted too far forward. Anyway, I machined up some adapter blocks that worked well. I've made the design available and at one point was going to help some others by getting some made up, but then the riding season hit full force and just didn't get there (my apologies to those that needed them). Links below to help.

Oh, yea, your going to love the bike. It's a blast to ride and this is a great forum - welcome aboard!

Ride safe,
Jeff

You'll need to purchase the universal mounting plate: http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/pr ... w/100/689/

Here is the conversation that includes pics and thread information.

TraX boxes from twisted throttle - there was a early post on making your own bracket that p the top case level with the side boxes. ou can also amke your own out of the universal one twiste throttle offers. Just as easy to go to a metal fab shop.
 
Caribou 34lt - plastic but seams pretty good so far and was $320. - get the universal mount and drill to match the tail struts

Well I took delivery of my bike on 9/27 she still needs to be ridden more, only 150 miles since I got her. I will take a pic soon so I can add it to the Stelvio Registry.

Also I did go with the Hepco-Becker 45L top trunk in black. I ordered that Friday night from http://www.amotostuff.com with a back rest and the mounting bracket. Free shipping on orders over $199 makes it nice. Also that place is located in Carson City, NV, which is pretty close to Sacramento, CA, so it was delivered yesterday. They did a great job on packaging everything into one box and everything came out perfect.

I worked on Tuesday and thought I would just get it all fitted on the up coming weekend. Well after a few hours and like a kid on Christmas day I couldn't wait. :evil:

The mounting bracket went on real easy. I had everything done and mounted in about 30 minutes. Once again I will post a pic so everyone can see it.
 
Congrats again Ron!
