[QUOTE="maessell, post: 1240182, member: 88388"] Hi all, So I broke down and bought a used (new to me) Givi top case. Monolock 45L with universal mounting plate. Couple of questions after searching about here- 1. Universal mount didn't quite 'fit', even though it is considered 'universal', thought about drilling a couple of holes in a 6 x 8 aluminum plate I had laying around and using steel tubing to create standoffs with the 3 tail bolts but after reading on here now, I'm paranoid that the subframe will crack off whilst traveling at speed and making me burst into flames while sending my new to me top case off into impending doom. Will the SR357 mount put all my fears to bed? 2. With the SR357, what is the realistic weight that I can carry? I know some people say they are loaded down with just using the standard mounting holes, but what kind of weight are we talking- 10, 20, 30LBS, or more? What can I do realistically with the SR357/monolock 45L? I'm not going to be carrying gold bouillon, but would like to get in the ballpark of the limits. 3. I am not going to take the side bags off- What is the realistic weight that I can put on the bike? (me, pillion, side bags, and top case) Thanks for any input, Mike [/QUOTE]
