> 3 dayVery sturdy construction as expected from givi. I used this everyday for my commute. Can fit 2 helmets as advertised, just going to be tight. If helmets are XL prob wont fit. The seal looks good so far. Im confident it is waterproof

> 3 dayInstalls quickly and easily with either universal adapter for an existing rear luggage rack - or a separate Givi adapter bracket designed for your specific bike. The hardware to attach the case it is a separate item. Keep in mind if you don’t already have a rear luggage rack and can use the easy-to-acquire universal adapter for that, you will need the Givi bracket designed for your specific bike. And if your bike is no longer in production (like mine) it might be harder to find the custom bracket for you specific bike. That was the situation for me, and no one seemed to have the Givi bracket in stock for the case for my bike - but fortunately I had a luggage rack already on my bike - and the universal adapter for that worked fine. I get it that Givi can’t know which bike you have or if you have a luggage rack or not - so making the hardware to attach the case a separate item kind of makes sense. But why they need to charge so much for it is another question. Holds 2 full face helmets. And some other gear. It’s totally fine in the rain. It’s lockable (including being locked onto the bracket so people can’t just come up and pop it off) and easily removable with the key. It comes with 2 keys. You can (for extra $$) also get a kit to wire some LED’s into the case to add brake lights, or get a pad to screw onto the back of the case so a passenger can more comfortably lean against the case. You can also get a Givi duffel shaped like the case that fits exactly inside it for traveling with some clothing, etc. That duffel is nice but it’s very expensive. I just use a duffel of my own. When riding with this case on the dynamics for my particular bike were fine. No real issues. I am Able to ride at highway speeds it’s very secure. But then again no one is going to track day with this case on the back. The only time I notice the case at all is if it’s very windy and some gusts blow over you. But it’s minor. It’s rated to hold 22 pounds of stuff in addition to the weight of the case itself. I would not recommend loading it up with more than that. I deducted 1 star for these reasons. The cost is high for the mounting hardware sold separately. The universal bracket just to attach to a luggage rack is $75 - for a plastic frame and some screws. And this is on top of the already expensive cost of the case. And get ready to fork over a lot of money for any other accessories for the case. Also there is no liner of any kind in the case it’s just raw plastic. For the money it should at least have a liner in the bottom. But in general I would say this is a secure, well made case from a company that knows what it is doing. It installs easily and works great. Adds significant secure storage space to your bike and looks pretty good more or less, if you don’t mind a big round case on the back of your bike.
