Was wondering if anyone has pics or how to on fitting givi side cases using a Staintune hightmount. I think it's possible but before pulling the trigger on the cases is it worth it and how does it work? I'm talking tubular and not the wingrack set-up. Thanks any feedback greatly appreciated.

I've done it.  I had to bend the racks (more like tweak them) a bit, and add spacers and longer screws.

Here are a couple of pictures.  Note that I didn't go with Givi side cases, I opted for $50 ebay McGillicuddies.  They don't use the same mount mechanism, but I made them work...

Rear view, "Do these bags make my butt look big?"
Note the cross bar is slightly bent on the right side.  There is a standoff on the left side to make the cross bar longer as well.

Offset I used to get over the exhaust, 1/8" flat stock (now painted flat black)

Offsets to push the bag mount outward.  I had extra Givi topcase rack standoffs, so I used those.

Good luck, Dude.

Note that I needed to persuade the cross bar and the bottom 'leg' of the right side.  Had I a tubing bender it would have come out a bit nicer, but a dead blow hammer worked in a pinch.

I just got a second Staintune, so I have a high mount and low!
