Homemade Top Case and Bracket

[speedbuggy]

Hi there to all in Spyderland. Just had some changes made to my 2008 Spyder GS SM5.I had a rear bracket made at a metal fabrication shop and bought the rear top case from a motorcycle salvage yard. The top case is from a 1996 Goldwing and is fixed to the bracket just like the Goldwing is. The bracket cost me $200.00 and the top case $20.00.
Also I am putting in rear LED lights in the GIVI side bags and also put on a CAN AM Touring windshield.
The bracket is bolted under the seat where the 4 bolts are and the side arms rest on the cross arm of the GIVI side bags. Very sturdy and well made. I re-painted the top case in Cam Am colours.:yes:
Here are some pics.

Pretty cool. I actually gave one of those top cases to the guy I sold my VTX too. If anyone is interested I'll see if he wants to sell it. It's in great shape.

Not a 96 Wing topcase

That is not a 96 wing top case, Looks more like an 86 wing top case.
