    Looks good & practical....nothing huge/bulky looking, if I was into mass storage I'd have a Ultra or a Goldwing....show me your rides!

    Do a search for Axio. Should be a whole thread I believe. If not go to VFRD and search.

    It seems everyone is waiting for Axio to ship this years supply of their original bag. Some dealers have the new 2.0 in stock but I'm not aware of anyone that actually has one of the originals in stock. Seriously call them and confirm they have the product on hand because some dealers are showing the item in stock on their website but if you call to verify you will find they really have none on hand. I believe they will hit stores sometime in late May. Great product but remember the fabric portion of the bag has a tendency to fade over time, scotch guard and you'll be fine.

    I found that Sears sells a GIWI knock off. I've been told it's identical. Go to Sears.com and search for travel trunk and 2 sizes come up. Med and Large, both show pictures with a helmet inside. The Large which is like my GIWI side bags fit my laptop no problem. I'm thinking of buying the Medium one for my tail but may need to fabricate a mount even though Sears sells a universal mounting bracket for free. I will find out after I receive it.

    cheers

    Those med. cases are on sale at sears.com for $32.99, for Father's Day special...I bought one! It comes with a free mount, but do I need to buy one to get it installed right? When you figure it out steviee7, please post and let us know what you do.

    I just ordered a medium one today. It comes with a universal bracket but I'm not sure what to expect. I have a feeling there will be a few trips to HomeDepot so I can make the unversal bracket attach to my bike. I figure for 32+ shipping it'll be worth the headache to make it work.
    I'll keep you posted and if I can take pictures I'll try to post some.

    Isn't the universal bracket on these just the base that attaches to the luggage rack? then the case latches on to the base. You still need a rear luggage rack to mount these (as far as I know)

    I think you're right woobie, but on another forum someone also said that the larger case will mount directly up with the GIVI mounting system. I really like the Five Stars rack, but am going to wait until I get the case and see what their universal mount looks like.

    Nelson Rigg has some nice tailbags that work in conjunction with their saddle bags or you can use them alone. Stuff looks nice and plenty of options for size.
