I say pototo......Here's a couple of pics with the mounted top case. I have this mounted where I can put it on or take it off in just a few minutes. Necessary for me, as I like to change things up and will go back to the backrest and luggage rack from time to time. To each his own, I like the looks with it on, but am also aware that many bought this bike for the fact that it did not come with a top case.
