Chapparal and Dennis Kirk is where I used to do most of my shopping. There is also a Dennis Kirk Outlet store online where you can get some awesome stuff that is getting phased out. Its hit and miss but you might get lucky. Just google it. Hope that helps.

One of their pull down tabs is.. "New for 2005!!"

They may want to think about updating their webpage..
That refers to updates in the Tucker/Rocky catalogs the dealers have.

Hard bag mounts for sport bikes are kind of rare (and expensive) one option is to go with one of the "universal" sportbike soft luggage sets. They're quite a bit cheaper but you ometimes have to do a little "fangling" to install them.

Coleman powerports in VA has a large selection and they don't mind letting you take them outside and test fitting them if your bike is clean.

:yay:

Yep, right make and model but the picture is of another bike.

I've spoken with one shop about the Givi bags but they wouldn't garanty the GIVI stuff would fit so I wouldn't order from them. Other shops may be more flexible but :shrug: haven't had time to research.

I'm planning on hitting up Motovation for my new toys after the new year. I'll talk to them about the Givi stuff then too.

I bought my top case directly from Givi after being told over and over again that it couldn't be done (including calling into the Givi 800 number).. The factory rep is usually at all the major bike shows and will install while you wait. Thinkin the DC bike show.

I rode my bike to their tent in VT, he looked at it said yep I can do it, and at that point I thought, "Crap, I guess I'm buying a topcase today" but no regrets now that I've had it for awhile, he had the mounting plate on in less than 20 minutes, then we tried different cases for fit and appearance until I decided on the one I have now.
