I'd get a GIVI top box and mount. Once you get used to one of those, they're pretty indispensable.

Mine are made by Teknic but I have a naked Y2K Model. They look and seem to function fine.

Mine are the one's for ~95 bucks (Suzuki had that 600 dollar accessory give-away enticement so they were free.......along with helmets and such)

I have the Nelson Rigg Sphere saddlebags, because they're the cheapest saddle bags known to man. (Considering how often I use them, I made the right decision.) They rub the fairing, like you pointed out, and I don't care. :laugh:
