Side Case for Versys 1000

Been scouting around for a good practical solution to carry extra luggage during longer bike trips. Besides having a rear bike mount with a 36liter case, the next option would have to be side mount cases installed. There are a few variety of side cases in the market, and the 2 brands / makes which constantly stand out over this side of the world is either GIVI or Hepco. 

Givi comes with a few variants of the side cases, mainly the ever popular V35 case and the Trekker series case. Hepco Becker in the other hand has also a variety of side case, mainly the Junior Flash and the Explorer series. 

I was looking for something less hardcore in sense mainly designed for pure off-road and adventure riding,  but more for leisure and holiday case, and I have narrowed it down to Givi Trekker 33l and the Hepco Junior Flash series. The Givi V35 in my opinion doesn't have a very strong feel to it, and there has been cases where the case just dismounts upon impact. 

Final verdict to be posted in the next couple of day :) 
Givi V35 liter case

Givi Trekker 33 liter case
