Re: Roadcrafter 1 piece vs. GTS saddlebag ;-) GIVI monorack vs. wingrack

I have the Krausers (large) and Givi Maxia topcase. Aerostich fits easily in either. I 
have a 2-piece, which is more bulky than 1-piece. My wife's (she's small) has the 
1-piece Aerostich and I could get two of her suits into the Krauser. The Givi fits my 
suit, helmet and boots. Krauser boots and suit. Handy lockable storage for going to 
places you don't want to wear motorcycle gear.

Could I install GIVI monorack for MAXIA topcase? I already have (Krausers? Yamaha?) 
saddlebags
mounted
and I would like to keep them instead of replacing with Givi sides.

Those of you relying on a Givi case for storage of valuables (inc. helmets)
will hate what I'm about to say, but I can show you how to pry it open with
just a medium size screwdriver in five seconds flat. Some M* F* did
that to me and flew with my BMW helmet (all 480 US$ of it).

I don't believe the Krausers will be much better, either. Heck, a couple
months ago the armored vault where I store my photo gear crapped and I had
to pay a locksmith to open it. He did it in less than five minutes...

Roberto, not sleeping well ever since.

I haven't tried it but I think you could pull up the two rubber strips on
the tail section and mount the GIVI top bag mount to the screw holes that
hold the tail section on using spacers and longer screws.  I have no idea
how strong this would be, but it is similar to how GIVI mount a top case on
an ST1100.

At least it's an idea to check out.
