[ST] Re: Luggage for the RS

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
