OK, I've spent my entire morning parsing threads on top cases - so I've used the search, both forum and google
My problem with most top cases, is that they are huge ugly things that surely have to effect bike stability, especially in the wind. I want something just big enough to stick a small laptop case in and that's it. So, as low as possible, and not too wide or deep either.
Checkswrecks has the closest thing to what I'm looking for

and the look of it on the bike is great (compared to any top case pic I've seen)
but I would like to not have to open the case, move stuff to get to the quick release pins then pull them, etc. (and I don't have a case to do these mods too anyway).
The closest commercial case I've found is the Givi B36N.

Anyone had any experience with them? Anyone have any other alternatives? I would prefer something even a little smaller then the B36N, and if it didn't have a big logo on it, and came in gloss black to match the '08 FJR, and the lock used my Yammi key... well, that'd sound about perfect
