Tom's BMW R850R - Installing an R1150 Rack
The "Press" is also a handle. Turn the key full clockwise, and the handle gently pops up. The case can be removed from the rack in this position. The Givi E52N Maxia case is well designed, and well finished.
Givi says it holds two full face helmets, and I agree. However, my summer riding jacket has a full back proctor built in. that jacket and one full face helmet just barely fit into the case.
For most commuting, the 52 liter case alone is enough. 52 liters is a fair amount of groceries. It is almost two full (American) paper bags in volume.
