 It's a little pricey but FEHLING from Germany make a sidecase rack for the downtown which is the more common tubular form. But it has to be shipped over if you can find a retailer that will sell to NA and I think it's 200-300 CAD.

Define 'pricey', please.  ;D
And I'm a bit closer to Germany, we're not all from USA.

155-170 EUR. Sorry, I'm not in the US either, Canada, but am used to being on US-centric forums... No disrespect meant ot the rest of the world ;D

Lot's of extra storage, baby got back for sure. I would probably do something similar but with Givi E-21s for the sides, lose some space but a little slimmer. The E-55 looks great up top though, I was not sure how BIG the 55 would look but in rear profile it's fine, IMHO.
