Wow this stuff can get the wallet hard -- that $250 topcase ended up being $490 after adding the color, backpad, rack, and extendor plate!!!!   :wow:  Thanks goodness for the ol' plastic!!

Just ordered the E360 with R300 painted lid and the backpad for riding 2up w/ the case.  I already have the SW-Motech side racks and E41 (HUGE cases!!) side cases ... so this should (it better!!) take care of any and all luggage needs for quite some time!  I went ahead and chose the Alu-Rack with Alu-Rack extender plate for the Givi Monokey luggage.

Anyone else use the E360?  and/or the Alu-Rack for the topcase mount?  Likes & dislikes?

Is there any way you could send me pics of the bike with the E41 side cases on??? I'm looking to buy some Givi side cases and I wanted to see just how big those E41's were when mounted on the bike before I decide what size bags to buy.

Thanks,
Hav

Hav -- sure, check out this page and click on my link for several PICs.  They are huge cases though on the VFR!

I have the Givi tubular rack with monorack on my silver 03.

2003 Silver with Givi

massive ammounts of Givi storage a pair of E41s and an E52

More pictures still to come as I have only had the bike a few weeks
and the weather hasn't be condusive to nice photographs.

The storage is nice, if we head out 2-up with the bags empty we can stash both helmets in the top case and jackets and over-pants in the side cases. Handy for shopping and parks.

I looked into the E41s and E360s. They're definitely too big (WIDE) for daily commutes. Decided on E21s instead. Much narrower profile with tubular racks. I'm in the process of getting them painted to match the Italian Red. I'll post a new pic when they're finished.
