Longbow & BlackBird,
Ok, you have to make up your own brackets, but the basic Givi rack is extremely adaptable and as strong as the personalised attachments you make for each individual purpose. I've used it on my Laverda and CBX in two positions. Solo and well forward with just the side cases, or further back with the top-box and "wing" accessory. Prefer it forward for high speed and better handling, but now get more satisfaction travelling with my best buddy. Not a fan of the genuine Honda article (too small & too wide for its volume) although it will fetch more in years to come. I'm not into making things good for the next guy.
