Givi Mounts
I just took possession of a 2013 RS SE5 and I already have the Givi E55 Top Case and a pair of the Givi V35 Side Cases and would like to mount them on my trike. An Internet search seems to indicate the mounting hardware is discontinued. There is a couple of shops in Italy that appears to have the mounting racks and hardware .
Is there another more local source here in the US for the mounting ?
Thanks!

Call the US distributor, when I was looking for a mount for my BMW the WEB site said NA, but looking at the European site it was, I called the US distributor and they had one.

I just ordered a set of GIVI mounting brackets from Italy through ebay. They were pricey but it was all I could find. I am suppose to get them between June 22 and June 26th. Hope I made a good decision. Always a gamble out of country.

E55 Mount
I had the rear sport mount on mine so I just bought a Givi Universal Mount - the E250 - off Ebay and mounted it to the plate. My E55 mounts right on to it. I actually swap between a V46 and the E55.

For the side bags about the only thing around is via Italy and through Ebay...

I ordered the mounts for the V35 cases from Italy a few days after your post. I received them on Monday (7-6). Wednesday they were on holding my cases! They were a little pricy but about on par with mounts I've purchased here in the States for my BMW. The vendor, SPEEDMANIA in Reggio Emilia, Italy, were very good to do business with.
. . . . and the cases along with the mounts from Itally were still less expensive than the BRP ones from the dealer.

Thank you all for your inputs!
I ordered the side case mounts from Italy off eBay from http://www.ebay.com/itm/261855304447 and got them fairly quick. They fit fine and my side cases are now on my Spyder.
I also ordered a top case mount off eBay from Canada http://www.ebay.com/itm/Can-Am-Spyde...70f6d3&vxp=mtr however I think this may have been made to use with the BRP side case kit and does not work with the Givi side mount kit. It's not really the fault of the vendor as they state "I'm not very familiar with Givi products so please do your homework before doing a "Buy It Now" because I'm not 100% sure of the exact application".
For my top case I think I will just get a rear sport rack kit and mount it to that as suggested by Bruise01.
Thanks to all!

Yep I've installed them myself. It's pretty straightforward, the trick I found was to:
- Remove the plastic thing behind the seat between the two rear lights.
- Undo the front the seat stay (funny piston thing under the seat).
This allows you to lift the seat right up so you can get to everything easily.

Thanks I will take a look and see just how involved this is. I get nervous if I have to disassemble to much.

Think that's the one for the Can-am kit? Don't need that for the Givi one as the V35 fixing mechanism works off the lock so you just use the key to release the panniers.

I don't particularly care for the GIVI tail light mount, either. Well not the mounts themselves, but the exposed wiring. I used what I had in the garage the shield the exposed wiring, plus the added wiring along the swing arm is encased in protective tubing.
I may wander around the hardware stores and locate something to fabricate a more aesthetic solution to the exposed wiring.

The more time consuming and harder is relocating the turn signals. Did not need to tap in or splice factory wiring as I got the in between wiring from Tricleds.
I had to remove the rear fender and add wiring along the swing arm. I disassembled the turn signals and terminated the wiring with new connectors.
I also bought and added LED Tail/Stop/Turn Lights from AddMore Lighting to go behind the red lenses on the GIVI cases. (No excuse for drivers not to notice them)
They have waterproof quick connects when you want to remove the cases.
Well now I am hooked on the V35 Led kit. I called out there with a question on a additional harness since I just bought a Vstrom DL650. Have a line on brackets from a friends crashed bike. Anyway I would want a harness for the Vstrom when I move the bags over.
I'm telling myself only one more Farkle ...... yea right

Reflective tape for v35s
I mounted the Admore kit to the my Givi V 35's. Since the red lens is not reflective I Added reflective tape to the white plastic where the LEDs are mounted. This adds a bit more Safety when the lights may be off. Other than that I love the way the admore LEDs work.

Same here, some reflective tape under the lens made a world of difference. 'Cept that if you use SOLAS or industrial DOT spec reflective tape it is way more effective than regular reflective tape.
