• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Givi top box

I decided to do a little searching and found a Givi top box on Craigslist. $85.
I had removed the factory backrest already being I highly doubted I would ever have a passenger. I removed the backrest from the base for storage. I replaced it with the sport rack plate.
I decided to mount the Givi to the backrest base so I can switch with just the pull of the release under the seat. I used 4 Deltec cables to attach the Givi mounting plate to the backrest base plate. These cable ties have a breaking strength of 250lbs.
I think it turned out pretty well.

Which top case do you have on now? It looks like the size I am going for; a big improvement over oem offering.

Looks Great

That looks really great. I'll start searching for a top box to put on. The mounting system you used looks simple and strong. Thanks for the idea! Ebay, here I come. :)

I like the simplicity of the set up. I can remove the case and add the sport rack top plate without tools in a less than 30 seconds. There is also a built in pad on the case for the passenger.
Good luck with your search, and keep looking on SL for more ideas and other cases that people have used.
