Thanks for the info. I picked up the steel mounting platform for the 4 bolts below the rubber, above the tail light from someone on the list a while back, (can't remember who)and was soon going to go ahead with the project to install Givi's new large rear top case. You may have saved me from a hazardess situation. Does anyone know if Givi sells JUST a top case mounting package, without the side cases. I don't want side cases. I like the clean looks of the rear side panels. Thanks. -Pete
