Hey all. In my exhaustive research in looking at numerous topcases this week last minute, as I decided i wanted one for riding down to MotoGP, I finally ended up with this. Seemed like the best bang for the buck...

Obviously i looked at the numerous Givi's and Honda OEM. But, the problem ended up being that the Givi's that I was considering are on backorder. I wanted the brakelight option either now or down the road; something i was told the OEM didnt offer. As well, I didnt want something as large as the OEM case or even something like the Givi V46, although they are both nice packages. The 46 was the only Givi product I couldve gotten at this time. For cosmetic reasons, i wanted something a bit smaller, and wanted a mounting rack that would work with my OEM bags and still allow a passenger. I do also have OEM sidebags, so I didnt need to go super large on the top case.
The guy at Twisted Throttle told me to check out the Coo Case line, and I was impressed right off the bat when I pulled them up on the site while we were on the phone. As you can see, it comes already with LED brakelamps, a semi-padded interior, remote alarm (motion sensitive, so the bike is also protected when the case is mounted). Locking and unlocking the case can also be controlled by the remote. Twisted throttle insisted that quality is just as good as with the Givis, but we'll see. The case's lid also has three different color options....all at the same price as the standard matte black. No adapters needed to mount this case to the SW Motech rack I ordered as well (sorry Ken, once and awhile my GF will jump on the back). And, right now they were having free shipping on all CooCase orders, which included the mounting bracket.
The entire case/mount bracket package came to about $380 shipped, which i thought was reasonable. I dont want to compare the price to the OEM or larger Givis i was looking at, since they are much larger cases. I just liked the idea of getting the brakelight option and remote alarm all included in one package for that price, including rack.
If anyone has owned anything from Coocase, Id like to hear feedback...
Thanks
