[ST] Re: Luggage for the RS

[rmcclaran@xxxxxxx]

I've got the Givi E 360 hard bags on my RS (flat black on 
a black RS). The mounting rack may be a bit ugly when the 
bags are off but it was very easy to install, no more than 
15 minutes or so and is very solid, much more so than the 
factory hard bag setup on the ST's I've looked at. The 
cases are waterproof and very durable and hold lot's of 
stuff, 40 cubic litres I believe. Best part is they cost 
me less than half of the Triumph factory hard bags. Some 
might argue the Givi's are ugly but I like them in a weird 
sort of way. Function over form indeed. For touring I use 
the Givi's in combination with a Chase Harper tank bag and 
a Tourmaster tail bag. I will try to upload a picture for 
you tomorrow.
Cheers,
Robbie
