I'm thinking about getting a top small top cse for the bike so when my wife goes along she can have a back rest. I really like the placememnt and looks of the SW motech so;
-Where did you get yours?
-What model number for the bike?
-What adapter plate?
-Approx. cost?

Thanks much.

...and seeing as I am also on the verge of buying one of these, do you find that the top case obscures your brake light from traffic behind you at all (I imagine the Givi is better in this respect, being higher)

Midlife, from my understanding you just get the one designed for the Bandit 1250, and they are available online all over the place. WHen I finally make a decision about my luggage strategy I will post up some info, coz I know you are all holding your breath in anticipation...

So far I have only found the SW motech to be available through Twisted Throttle, I'm sure there has to be more out there? I am looking at some of the Shad cases. Any experience with this brand?

"GPT.05.299.100/B Rev. 00
Suzuki Bandit 600/1200"

is what it says on the label mine had on.

Adapter plate depends of course on which top case you want, they are available for pretty much all brands and locking methods.

Maybe if a big truck (like a semi) is driving murderously close behind? And if so, it really doesn't matter if he can see your brake light anyway as he doesn't care and wouldn't have time to react even if he did see the brake light...
