|  Picked up Givi luggage at the IMS Every few years I find an offer I can't pass up down at the Cycle World Int'l Motorcycle Show. This year it was 15% off and free shipping on Givi hardcases. I ordered E360 sidecases and a V46 topcase with the optional brakelight. I'll mount them on a Wingrack with relocated signals. I also got a gel backrest for the topcase. I think Jolene will really like the sense of security it provides. I'm on a budget so I didn't spring for the silver painted models, but instead got the more durable molded black ones. Can't complain - they still look great. E360 V46 Wingrack II This should make touring this summer that much more enjoyable. I don't have to worry about water or theft, and I can pull them right into the hotel with me. Heck, with so much space I can camp again if I want. My setup will look something like this:

| As I said in my ORIGINAL POST, I bought a backrest for Jolene. Logically, I must expect to carry a passenger, right?

| sorry i did read that you got the backrest but just looking at the pic you posted and it looked like the sidebags blocked off the passenger area quite a bit. Could be just the angle that picture was taken at.

| For the record, the bag I won is a Givi 410. It goes for $115 or so. The signature is in silver on the top surface (heavy nylon fabric). I can't decide whether I should use it, save it as a collector's piece, or try to ebay it for $250.
