For those of you want hard saddlebars for your XX but also want a nice clean look when they're removed, look no farther than the removable luggage racks from SW Mo-Tech in Germany.
These racks accomodate the mounting of GIVI, Kappa, Hepco&Becker, Shad, Krauser, Bieffe, Nonfango, Alu-Koffer, and other hard side cases.
I can remove my Givi E360s and the mounting racks in less than 20 seconds using only a 13mm spanner. Actually, it's so easy to remove the rack that I usually remove it with the side cases still attached and just set them aside.
The only real change to your bike will be moving the stock turn signals a bit outward and downward using the included mounting brackets. If you have flush mounted signals, you won't even have to bother with this step.
To install these brackets, the rear cowling must be removed
so that you can unplug the turn signal wires from the
connectors located beneath the PGM-FI UNIT. Then, remove the
turn signals from the rear fender.
Install the supplied turn signal brackets and reconnect the
turn signal wires beneath the PGM-FI UNIT. Reinstall the
rear cowling and you're done with that step.
The rear cross support bracket fits perfectly behind rear fender and only needs one additional hole to be drilled in order to accept
the mounting bolts.
Once this step is completed, install the mounting lugs that fit alongside the grab rail and tighten the bolts.
Then install the mounting lugs to the front bolt hooks and muffler brackets. It's best to leave these a bit loose until the rack is installed.
Put the side racks together per the instructions and then install them into the mounting lugs and cross bracket. This puts everything into the correct position for easy removal and installation later on.
Just tighten the four mounting lugs and you're finished.
When you want to restore the original look to the bike, just remove the racks and go riding.

If you're worried about security, there is a key lock available and I believe that there is a top rack for those who need additional storage space.
