I'd also like to hear some comments/reviews of this case. I'm looking to get either one of these or a Givi Maxia E52.

 

[Phugedaboudet]

it needs it's own remote? I'd have to carry two fobs

 

[DELETE-PLEASE]

A quick google search comes up with other forums that have some that have tested them out Doesn't sound too bad for the money.

Coocase S48.L2 is my final vote. Will get it this summer. Has the upgraded light kit. At TwistedThrottle, I believe. Had been looking seriously at Shad, as well.

I love my E52.

I love my E52.

+1. Especially with the high brake light.

Just got my Coocase 48 and mounting bracket from Twisted Throttle yesterday. Looks really nice! Fits two large full face helmets without any problems. What sold me on this one was that the brake light kit was no additional cost - and the remote lock & alarm is a neat bonus. Will be mounting it over the weekend and will take lots of pictures!

I did quite a bit of research before I bought my case. Compared the Givi, Coocase and Shad, ended up with a Shad after going to Daytona to see the cases in person. Easy install, nice profile to the bike, will swallow two modular helmets (LG/MED). Cost less than a Givi, comparable to the Coocase but in my opinion better workmanship and customer support.

That is my 2 Cents and nothing more.

Look forward to the pictures...

Reserving my seat for the pictures as well. I'm interested in this case and am wondering how it mounts (does it mount to the existing tail) because I would like to keep my Smuggler installed in addition to using a top case on long trips.

 

[Geed]

Sorry for the late response... I was able to install the mounting plate over the weekend but then discovered there was not enough wire to reach the battery (for the brake lights). I was surprised to discover that the FJR battery is way up in the front instead of under the seat like I am use to. I have to go get some extra wire to splice in. I'll post the pictures of what I have so far later today!

 

[Ian Farlow]

Excellent... not the short wiring, but the pictures later today!

By the way, I'm interested specifically in how this mounts to the bike. I want to retain the use of my Smuggler in addition to a top case when on long trips.

Okay, here are the pictures I took so far. Only got as far as mounting the base bracket and now I have to get some wire to make the brake light connection to the battery.

First up we have the case itself....

And this is the bottom plate that the case locks into along with a decrative cover you can put in place when the case is not attached...

And this is what the bottom of the plate looks like...

Here is the wireless remote (with key) as well as the regular key...

Here is the base bracket before I mounted it....

And after....

I like the way it mounts directly to the stock bracket and it sits low and sleek!

I'mm post the rest once I finish up with the job sometime this week!!

 

[Ian Farlow]

Thanks. The pics look good, and the fit (so far) is exactly what I was hoping for. Which part number is that for the bracket?

 

[Geed]

That's the GPT.06.498.100/S from Twisted Throttle . You can even get an adapter for it which will fit the Givi cases as well.

 

[Ian Farlow]

Thanks. I saw that one, but there are a few choices in the drop-down box for the product and I wasn't sure what to do. I assume you didn't select anything in the drop-down and just added it to the shopping cart as is?

No need to connect to the battery, just tap into the wires for the brake light and tail light. They run from the tail light, along the right side under the seat and towards the front of the bike.

I recommend Posi-Tap connectors.

If you are unsure of which wires to tap into, just do a search, the info is out there. You can also remove a tail-light bulb and see the wires for yourself.

Good luck.
