[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1163705, member: 3828"] Ben, Be careful how much weight that you put into that top box. The Shad mounting plate is supported by the stock (read: plastic) luggage rack / passenger grab rails, which puts a lot of stress on the sub-frame underneath if you carry anything heavy. Remember, even before you put anything in it you have the weight of the box itself. Though the Givi mounts may be butt-ugly when no top box is installed, the steel tube rack frame (replaces the stock plastic stuff) is a good support for the underlying cantilevered sub-frame. You may want to consider getting a Givi SR mount and then attaching your Shad mounting plate on that. Not sure if it is a direct fit or not, but I'm sure it could be done relatively easily. [/QUOTE]
