Keep us informed of the delivery. I think the only other RS person on the 
list right now is Ken Thompson, but I am not sure if he has actually put 
any money down on one yet. I was told that initial deliveries will probably 
be much like the ST, so I wouldn't expect that we would see any here in the 
US until the end of December or early January.

I would assume that it will mount to the bottom of the frame as is the case 
on the ST. If so, then I wouldn't think that you could drag it all the 
easy. You'd hit the pipe or footpegs long before.....

It's very large and very secure. The only problem is that you would have 
the rack on all the time. The box is capable of holding two full face 
helmets or my laptop and carry case when coming to work. No leaks thus far.
