Givi 55, Heli risers, PCA adjustable rack.




Talk about your giant tumor LOL. Should hold lots of crap on trips though...

Order the Guardian helmet locks with the PCA rack too but I dont care for where they mount up? Anyone else have them and mount them differently then where they intend?

Well nevermind I figured out a solution. Redrilled and tapped the holes and mounted the locks up nicely

Very happy with the results...

I did exactly the same thing with the helmet locks.  They were really useful on our 2 week trip last summer when the side bags and Givi 55 were loaded.

You might get muck from wet roads etc getting up in the lock easier though...  :-\

I was in Daytona on Saturday and stopped at the Givi tent. I was really close to pulling the trigger on a new Givi, but didnt do it. Compared to my $70 JC Whitney box, that Givi 55 is a piece of art. But for as little time as the trunk spends on my bike, I just cant justify it. I will just sit back and admire those of you that have them.

Very nice, I am trying to decide on the trunk now.  You may have helped me, and I cannot quit looking at that 2BROS CF Black.

That is what I could not put my finger on, lol.  I had the E55 previously, it is between your style or the Shad50 which I have had as well.  I thought the Shad was a nicer functioning trunk and you could leave it unlocked and secure on the bike.  It also has a backrest factory but the blacked out E55 is making it hard.
