GIVI E55 Maxia
I am looking at this same case. I had been looking at the Coocase and had acquired a GIVI E710 bracket to support it per twistedthrottle's ebay ad that indicated it was required, but subsequently learned from them that it was incorrect. Now that I have the bracket - which I found for $35 on ebay - I will probably have to stick with GIVI.
This particular case looks monstrous and I wonder how it will affect handling, especially well packed and riding two up... With all the topcase reviews in this forum I really don't recall seeing much on that. |

The case does look a little large but I need that for school helmet etc. I dont think it will effect the handling more then a passenger would. I got lucky. A vendor named ascycles on ebay had the E710 bracket new for a crazy price so I jumped on it. It was still new but the box of parts had been bouncing against the bracket in transit so there were a few rough edges, but it looks fine. I have not committed to the huge $$ for the case yet since I want to finish my lighting mods and add a horn - and probably that cool garage door opener - first. If you order up I hope to see some pictures. |

You'll love the case. I have the E52 and have no complaints. It looks very good on the 500 too.

Ha I thought the title of this thread was macrobat offering "case work" services for an mp3. Expected to see a pic of someone holding a sign on an interstate off ramp

I found this little trailer called MO-PUP on craigslist that can be used for a topcase,wagon or pet carrier. I emailed the guy and among other things he did say he uses high speed bearings with his trailers.After someone said they might be a bit concerned about these large GIVI's affecting the handling of their MP3's,I thought maybe this could be of help.The really nice thing is this trailer is only 175.00 In Indiana.
