I tried to find a Triumph topcase for my Tiger, but since I use my eyes to ride, I was averse to having them torn out. I'm not affiliated with this auction, but I did buy one and just got it today. Took about 15 minutes to mount it to the Tiger. Super deal. Way more than half as nice as a Givi, 46 liters, (put my Quantum II & my Vemar in there together, no sweat) led light, liner and universal mounting kit for $80 delivered. Steal!! These guys were real easy to work with, shipped it the next day & I got it in three business days. I'm super pleased. Thought I'd post it here in Tigerland, but it would work on just about any rack.

Thank you guys...I ordered one myslef...any ideas on chaging the backrest. It looks kinda flimsy. I know.. I can live with it and it is of no use to me, then again I wanted to impress my better half with good backrest :-)

It's funny, but when I had my FJR & put a Givi on it, my sweety liked riding without the backrest pad better. Said the back protector in her jacket was plenty of padding. You're right, the backrest pad is pretty minimalist, but it does have some give to it. I'm thinking the front of the case could stand some spacers on the mount plate. It sits a little leaned forward. That said, easy to mod the plate in any way you want to.
