Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket top case available that attaches to the triple-tail?

It would be handy to be able to flip the triple-tail over, slap a case on it without the hassle and looks of the tubular frame required for the Buell cases.

Anyway, just a thought.

Just remember that the weight limit on the triple tail is 15 lbs.

Ozark Trails soft sided cooler and 4 - 2 ft rafting straps. Cooler has a hard bottom and reinforced sides so it doesn't collapse when empty. Rear straps run through the slots at the top of the TT. Fronts are secured to the rail. Can be used for a back rest, depending on what you put in it. Total size is about 31 liters. Also has two aluminum bottles that fit into mesh pockets. Not waterproof because there are 2 access panels on the top. What do you want for less than %40.00 including the straps?

I think a Givi with a universal mounting plate might work fine. I am sure it would work if you dont mind drilling some holes.

I've got a GIVI E52 on a universal plate bolted to my beavertail but only in the 'folded over the pillion seat' position, I still have the OE rack and move the case back to there when taking a pillion or lots of gear.




I wouldn't want to put a top case on the beavertail when its folded all the way back, have you tried flexing it by hand?

Not to mention that the beaver tail is held on by 2 itty bitty bolts : )
