    The lowest base is like an accordian(sp?)...It can expand vertically, but looks a little silly when stuffed. Corbin looks to be making a smuggler for the spyder, but even on closeout, they are too pricey for me when they were available for the SV at Twisted Throttle. The Givi fastbag failed in the market place for some reason, not sure any U.S. dealers are left, I picked mine up on Ebay. The pop up from time to time. Come in red, yellow, green and faux carbon fiber. I'd love the corbin luggage too, but my silly kids keep asking for food.

    Okay...... That Givi Fastbag is a hard bag? It looks like there is a backrest pad on the front of it. Does that backrest work for you when riding the Spyder? How does it mount? Finally, how large is it, will it hold a full face helmet?

    If you right click on the picture and do a "copy" and then do a "paste" in the message body it will show.

    Looks kinda cool.

    Hard and soft luggage. Back pad holds stuff (pulls off of velcro and converts to a fanny pack) and you can lean back on it a little. Mounts via under seat straps and has quick release buckles under the seat, straps convert the fast bag to a back pack, too. Since it expands vertically, it can hold a full face helmet. I think it hold 60 liters.

    Check out this link, I think this is exactly what we need for traveling, not as expensive as the Givi either I don't think. http://www.bikersfriend.com/ I may have to have one of these before Gatlinburg. Saving more allowance now.

    Thanks for the info. This looks interesting! It would give me more storage room, and a backrest! I like it!

    The Givi goes anywhere from 75 to 150 on ebay, depending on the market.
