[QUOTE="Bill Lumberg, post: 1240231, member: 87479"] Max load 459 lbs., compared to 474 lbs. for a 2014 model. Springing might be an issue, as earlier bikes are reported to be sprung lighter. But that's anecdotal, I only own a gen III. The givi and the SR357 should fit perfectly. If they don't, something is wrong. With an SR357 and E55, I get no handling or any other issue, even at higher speeds, even with the givi fully loaded, say, with laptop and ammo and sundry gear, or 2 12 packs of bottles. With sidecases loaded up, the wife on the back, and the top case stuffed to the brim, I can definitely feel the cumulative handling effect, but it doesn't make it handle poorly, slow or fast, just like the pig it is when at or just over max rated weight. The SR357 the key. I would not put much weight at all on the back using the OEM rack. But that's just me. [/QUOTE]
