    Is there a preferred top case rack that would work with/around the factory saddle bag brackets? The givi top case seems to bolt to the same spot as the saddle bags so I'm concerned that they're not compatible. Coocase's website is really vague (and I've never heard of them) so I'm a little hesitant about them as well. Are there any other companies out there? I'm new to the top case game.

    Also, does anyone have any experience with this top case?

    2002-2004 Honda Interceptor VFR Sport Touring Trunk - Red

    The description says red and it's a bit pricey, but if it's an OEM red color and fits flawlessly, I'd be willing to consider it.

    Thanks.

    I have researched this a little bit in the past and there was little information on this. However what I did turn up said that only the OEM topcase would fit if OEM saddlebags were installed.

    The link you provided is in fact the OEM topcase. That is from Honda East Toledo Honda. They also sell them on ebay and I believe their name on there is in fact hondaeasttoldedo. I can't remember if they have auctions, BIN, or best offer on Ebay but I do know that at one point and time they had an asphalt black one and its only 1 of 2 asphalt ones I have ever seen.... so I was really thinking about getting it. I called them up one day and they were pretty nice on the phone. I don't think I would hesitate doing business with them at all.

    Just FYI... the topcase does NOT come with the mounting bracket for the topcase itself. That is another 200 bucks. The link you provided mentions that it is sold seperately... but when I was checking things out the first time I missed it myself. I just wanted to make sure that you caught it and didn't have a nasty surprise if you ended up getting it.
