Hi Hayabusa, did you fit it onto the original rack and if so can you open the panniers without them catching?
HI i have much the same and only fit it for distance work but just happen to have it on at the right time .....
I have removed the sissy bar and put the backrest on to the topbox i am haveing some inserts made to go where the bar fits ..you will see when i post the photos some ..work gets in the way of biking and yes you can open them with out any problems.....

I had the same problems you are having , and fitted a Honda top box while I worked out what would do the job.
i eventually bought a coo-case, which has the advantage of remote locking, fitted with lights, (either brake or tail) and for the princely sum of £149.00, delivered, is a cracking deal. Very good quality and looks good too. pics to follow

OMG it worked have been trying to do this for weeks and now it works!
I hope the photos give some ideas ,fitting the box was a problem at first, i had it on my Sprint and when i got the R3T wanted to fit on her because of the sissy bar you could not open it i removed the bar and fitted a mounting plate to the rack but with on pad here indoors would not ride like it,you can buy a pad for the givi but they cost so i removed it from the sissy bar and fitted it to the box it takes a little time to get it in the right place i had to move the mounting plate about a bit once done the rack stays on the bike and is no problem.When it took the sissy bar out i had to replace the bolts they are just a nut and bolt now i am having some spacers made to go in the tube they will be tread ed so they fit ,going to have eyelets put on the top so i can attach bungees if needed .
Hope this helps any questions just ask .
PS the givi is a V46 which you can fit two helmets in

less than $50 including hardware. I've never seen one but it's almost cheap enough to buy just out of curiosity.

Looks very similar to the $80 trunk I bought at JCWhitney a few years back. Works fine bolted to the factory Rocket rack.
