Depends on what you want, I guess, but I would think that a rock impacting the headlight with sufficient force to break the glass would carry said force right through that flimsy-looking thing...

I am kinda torn between the 41l Gobi in black, or the new Touratech Zega (old stlyle w/o plastic corners) 51l XL topcase. The wife needs a backrest when shes on, and I could use a place to lock up the lids and coat at work. Anyone have e\any experiance with the XL touratech?
