Mark,

  I have the Givi v46 monokey on my first gen. I
cannot begin to tel you how great this thing is for
commuting. I was actually thinking about getting rid
of my SV until I put it on. Even on days when we go
into the mountains to rip through WV you do not notice
it is there. I will drop a picture of mine this
afternoon. The Givi case is definitely worth the
money. I will admit it does look a little like a UFO
is chasing the moto down the road as one lister said.
