Top case pics please

Thanks, now the next question. Are there any issues with the stock rails with the weight placed farther back? I mean, the rails are actually plastic aren't they?

I have one of Phil's racks mounted on the metal bars (you are right though the rails are plastic), you can see them in the pictures. I carried a 12 pack of beer in a cooler about 200 miles last weekend with no problems at all. I don't think you would want to go any further back or haul over 20lbs in the trunk.

You should buy a Saddleman bag to put all the heavy stuff in. It works real good with the Corbin backrest.

Thanks. Will my fiance fit into the Saddleman bag?

I have the Kawi 47 liter color matched trunk with Admore light kit mounted on Phils rack to allow Corbin backrest. 

where do you get the light kits?

How do you attach the top case? Do you drill holes in the case? Are they all a universal fit or do you need to buy a bracket specific to the C14 rack and attach it to the case?

Blanton.....this is a C14 not a KLR, that bag is beyond hideous.   If I were to ever go the top case route, I would like to go with more of the Pelican style, I don't like the looks of the Givi/Shad cases on the C14.

I have a Shad SH46 with the colored lid that matches really well. Aftermarket rack and backrest on the Shad:




Last weekend, did a 300+ mile day with my wife sitting behind me. She did say the case moves around (bumps and such) which I know is because it's mounted back to give her enough room and because the rails are plastic (why did they do plastic?!). Works great for everyday riding without the saddlebags.

As many have said, the E55 is what I have and really like.  I have had the Shad SH50 and that is a fine box as well.  I used Phil's rack and attachment kits on both for ease of installation.  As far as having a box of these sizes on the rear supports there is NO problem.  I had a HEAVY Corbin on mine and it gave me no problems, the E55 is less than half the weight of a Corbin and has a much more forward mounting position.
