Author Message   Tipsymcstagger Posted on Saturday, November 14, 2015 - 07:12 pm:        Wondering what the capacity is (in liters) of the stock Ulysses top case (not the XT)? I'm moving on from the Uly in favor of a new 2014 V-Strom 1000 and will be in the market for a top case. The Uly case has always served me well, so I'd like to find something similar in volume. PS - I'm asking $3500 for my 2008 XB12X with luggage and farkles. If you're in FL and are interested, act fast. I'm trading it in Tue or Wed! It's listed in the classifieds Tipsy   Tipsymcstagger Posted on Monday, November 16, 2015 - 02:00 pm:        Well guys, the Uly has gone to a new home. She avoided the uncertain fate of a trade-in by one day. Everything sells quickly when priced right This is by far the longest I've ever held onto a bike. The only time she ever left me stranded was the broken shift lever. Other than that, 28K miles of enjoyment. Thanks for all of the help over the years! Ride safe!

If you get a chance, give your thoughts/impressions of the Uly compared to the VStrom. Good luck   Tipsymcstagger Posted on Tuesday, November 17, 2015 - 11:37 am:        quote: Hope your Uly went to a good home. Did you steer the new owner to the BB&D forum?

I'll post back with some Strom feedback once I've ridden it a bit. I'm looking forward to the ABS and traction control. But I'm going to miss the low maintenance of the Uly's drive belt and no valve adjustments. And too be honest, after 8+ years, I'm kind of looking forward to no more fan noise. It didn't bother me for years, but lately, it was a growing a bit old.

Thanks. I'm looking at the Givi Outback Trekker bags for the Strom.

There are this: http://www.motomachines.com/Junior-55-Top-Case--Bl ack_p_2943.html and this: http://www.motomachines.com/Junior-40-Top-Case_p_1 80.html I'd get a 55 if I had the extra $$ lying around.
