I hadn't seen the Givi rack before, but that looks pretty much exactly what I am looking for. I had H&B chrome rack and frames on the Bonneville, and it looked like I was carrying the Forth Road Bridge around. For soft bags, that's way too much, but the Givi look light and fairly unobtrusive. For what you get, that seems to be better value than the Greek ones. I'm keeping an open mind for now, as I haven't even picked the bike up yet
It comes with a rear rack, so I will have to see what that looks like and how it attaches so I can see if it would be compatible with either of the frames under discussion.
Thanks all for your thoughts.
