11-21-08....Wingracks arrived



Got my Givi Wingracks today from a friend on the VFRD. The plan is to use Caribou cases (http://cariboucases.com/store/?name=Home) with this setup. These are Pelican FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) cases used by the military and are water tight, durable and very utilitarian(OK, not slick like what you'd normally see on a Sport Touring machine). Looking at the brackets on the bike, it's apparent that I won't be able to use a high mounted exhaust can (or it will be very tight), so I plan to have the high pipe for riding single (which will be most of the time) and swap in the stock pipe for riding two up and with luggage. Installing the cases and swapping exhaust takes 20 minutes, tops.
