I'm considering trying one of these out. I've had a Givi on my bike for a couple years now and it's been OK. In particular, I still get a lot of wind noise. I'm curious if you're still happy with this, and whether the "in your field of vision" issue is still one for you. I'm about 5' 11"...

I was also pretty confused by the myriad parts and combinations. I ended up email [email protected] to get confirmation about what I was buying, and whether the set of mounting kits were the right ones or not. They were super helpful being very patient while I waffled on whether I wanted a top...

I got my seat delivered very quickly (which I had been worried about given comments in other threads, but they came through really well for me) and it is indeed significantly more comfortable. I've commuted the past week on it and I can definitely feel the difference, although my commute is...

Just ordered a new seat from Shad, due here on Thurs. After 700 miles of relatively short commuting with only two minor long rides (about 60 miles each) I'm quite frustrated with the comfort, or lack thereof, with the OEM seat. Hopefully the Shad will be a relief for me. I'm planning a...
