Thinking of adding a top case to my S2T for storage space and as a backrest for the wife. Anybody else done so? I've only seen one S3T pic with a givi case added. There are some big ones (77L!!!) on eBay for dirt cheap ($60). They are plastic, but surely not worse quality than the marginal-fit S2T bags of 1996...

Something like this.

I'd have to build a luggage rack and add some sort of backrest to the front of it, and repaint it, but otherwise I think it wouldn't look bad. And it would nearly double my luggage space, even with the wide lids. I also plan to add some sort of taller windshield, or maybe make one out of fiberglass so I can put a lip in the end and paint it, and I want to weld in 2" extensions into my WesTek billet S2T handlebars to raise them a little more also. Basically turn my S2T into a much better-looking Uly :P.

Even the construction of the top bag listed above looks like the S2T bags XD.

A good start may be the large Ventura pack and the rack. Works well as a back rest. Bag is quite large and two can zip together, minus the passenger.

That is a nice setup. For me though I'm looking for a hardbag solution that I can paint : ).

You might have to do some minor fab work but the Ventura Rack with a Hepco-Becker top case wouldn't be too hard to fit...
