Hi Jwayne, did the HB top case and rear rack come in? If so, how do they look?
I preordered the HB side rack and Junior 30 bags. If you magnify the photos on the motomachines site you can see that they needed to relocate the tail lights to install the side rack. Wondered about the Junior 40 bags but found a photo and they look wide. It looks like the helmet lock might still be usable.

I've about hit my limit on not having luggage. I was about ready to pull the trigger on the HB C-Bow plus Strayker on the UK site, but sent another note this afternoon to the US site to see if they have the mounts in stock yet. I like the look of the Juniors as well, just can't get past the side opening. Klutz that I am, side opening = pick up crap that just fell out and try to jam it all back in while shutting lid.... top opening = toss crap in and go. Just wish the Straykers weren't so spendy. Of course, I have the same problem with windshields...damn you Paul and Lambotte with your fancy comets!

Oldgoat,
The mounts are shown as available now on the moto machines site.
edit: The HB mounts that is.

Hi Renko,
I placed the order and they emailed me back and told me it would be 5 weeks instead of the 3 they quoted me. I cancelled the order; so I am still without luggage. What was the delivery time on the HB30?
3 weeks ago (when I sent in the order) motomachines emailed and said the side rack would be in-stock in 3 to 5 weeks. I think they already have the cases available.

I think it is the racks they are having a problem with; at least it was on the Hepco Becker UK site. I also looked at the Aero ABS bags by SW-Motech the had the back but the rack was the problem. These bags will expand from 21-31lt I think. Check out the link with the bags mounted on the bike

http://www.motomachines.com/Lock-it-Side..._3312.html sorry guys this rear turn signal relocation is very poor, and united states vehicle code requires a minimum of 9" space between the rear turn signal lens's on motorcycles. maybe they should rethink this product to make a safer display to the rear.

Interesting point. Based on the pic, it definitely looks to be out-of-compliance. I wonder if that is the reason for the holdup in getting it here, when it is obviously available overseas. I am considering the c-bow mounting option, which appears to be far enough in front of the tail lights so as not to require any modification. However, I think I will confirm if any modifications to the turn signals are required.

They mentioned a part number, SR1118, but didn't say what it was or when it would be available. I ran across a website that sells Givi accessories and they had a listing for PN SR1118. Turns out it's a mounting plate to fit Givi's luggage but it's currently not available.
just received a GIVI E370 - and a backrest pad. had to get something for my wife to lean against. Installed in about 20 min. Provides good storage space and the wife is happy with the backrest.
