Well after searching and looking at different top cases, I bought the Givi E460. I sent an email to RL Motorcyles last night and the owner (Richard), responded this morning. I had asked about the 5% discount for ADV members and was assured that it was in effect.

I had read a lot about the customer service and that is what I based my choice on. I called this morning and Richard answered the phone. We talked about latches and the different size cases. He steered me toward the E460 because of the more simple and stronger latching system. He could have just told me to buy the more expensive E 52.
Also told me up front that, he was out of stock and the case would have to be shipped from his supplier.

Good person to do business with.

E460 is a good case. I WAS going to use the one off my FJR on the SuperT, but then decided I did not want to carry yet another key (one for the ignition, one for my Trekker side bags and one for my E460 trunk). Now I only have two to carry - ignition and one for all 3 Trekkers.

That is a good point.. Maybe I can key the Micatech cases to the Givi. If I can't I'll just have to carry more keys. :D

Givi keys are pretty unique. The E460 is a 5-tumbler lock ---- double sided key. Not sure about Micatech.

I purchased all my Givi racks and bags for my Bandit 1250 from RL. At the time they had a flat rate $9.95 shipping for everything. The transaction went smooth and my stuff arrived to me in Mississippi in less than 4 days time. I may call him to order my Trekker bags and racks for my S10.

Make sure you ask for the 5% discount. That covered the 9.95 shipping for me.. Just sayin
