Tail case

[Donny]

Hey all,
Brand spanking new member here.  I've searched the forums for a bot but cannot find luggage options.  I am looking to put a tail case on my bike.  Does anyone have pictures of what they have put on the back.  I live in Canada so European distributors are out.  I have seen some Givi and Kappa cases at bike shops but since I have to order I have to ensure they look good before I buy.  Ay help would be great. Thx, Don

i KNOW there are pics of various luggage on the tails... maybe scan through some of the build threads?...

or someone who remembers where will provide you a linky soon enough i guess.....

google search could probably yield results too... GS500 luggage?

in fact i just did and it provide thread links to this very site!!.. much shorter version!!

Here's mine:



Mounted my E33 Monolock case on a Suzuki luggage rack (no longer made) and added some bracing.



If I wanted to mount another Givi case on a GS500 I'd just make something like this sketch:



The Givi and SW-Motec racks for top cases are still available for the GS500F.

If you just want to see pics of GS500's with luggage mounted go to http://www.bikepics.com/ and look around and you'll find many like these:

My Givi V46. Love it, big enough to hold my helmet, jacket and gloves.

I have the same size (46) in a Shad case... It's huge, fits two full helmets and then some. It can hold my duffle bag for the gym easily.  I use the SW-Motech Alu-Rack for the mount to the bike... It's really low profile. The Shad case is really excellent quality, and offers the same features as givi such as one handed opening and one handed release from the rack.

Thanks. I have the same looking bike as you.  It's is the setup I will probably use. Thanks for all the replies.

Hepco and Becker also makes a rear rack which I have on order. H&B is German, so a little harder to get in North America but I think they make a better product.

Here's what I'm running:




It looks big, but I'm used to it.  It holds quite a bit (can swallow 2 full face helmets no problem).

Well, I took the plunge. I bought a Givi E370 case, M3M plate and ordered the arms. Can't wait
