Looks like my handle bar is askew... left side is a little pulled from a previous fall. Can this be realigned or replaced? Any recommendations?

I've seen many debates here but can someone help me pin down the GIVI topcase that works well for the Multistrada?

Thx.[/u]

Strong, functional, and well-tested Monorack-style toprack for either general luggage or a Givi Monokey topcase (E460, E52, etc).
I personally think the smaller E460 looks better than the larger E52 but I don't think anyone who owns one wishes they had the smaller one.

Any monokey luggage will fit .

i have the 52L on my MTS and I love it. I can put helmets, computors, jackets, pants boots and all kind of things in there. If you get one too small than you will regret it.

Another advantage with GIVI is you can use it on other bikes. I move mine from the Mts to the Rt1150 to the K75 to the R100/7. Way better than factory luggage that only works on one bike.

There's a comment on that rack on the Twisted Throttle site that says it puts the case quite far back, and is not adjustable (to move the case forward I assume) and suggests that the MTS brake lightoften can not be seen by approaching cars with the case on--suggesting the brake light kit is a good idea. Hmm.

Is there another rack that would place the case further forward, if you weren't going to be riding with a passenger...?

Brake light kit seems like a good idea in any case, for commuting.

Thanks.
