[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 457476, member: 3828"] I have the Givi rack. It is not particularly attractive when the bag is off, but none or the others are either IMO. The looks can be improved with a little spray paint, but I have not bothered. To me this is a case where its functionality begets beauty. And with the color matched V46 on it it looks great, IMO. I like the GIVI rack and would not switch it out. FWIW I had a Yamaha trunk and mount on this bike for a while. I decided I did not like the Yamaha trunk at all and then switched to the GIVI. The Yamaha's liner reduces the usable space too much and the rack mount was too flimsy, IMO. While it's 100% subjective, I prefer the looks of the V46 and mount (on or off the bike) to the Yamaha trunk (on or off). I also had to cut two holes in the tail piece for the Yamaha trunk mounting. They are now plugged. You don't have to cut anything for the GIVI rack. Edit: Followed your link to twisted throttle. To me this rack doesn't look all that great with no bag on either. And the rack attaches via the stock rack which has very little weight capacity.
