A set of GIVI side cases for most bikes runs about $800. This is an alternative that fits within the usual EX250 budget. JC Whitney carries universal mount [http://www.jcwhitney.com/Motorcycle-Trunks/600014603.jcw top cases]. Top cases are the cases that sit behind the passenger, either with a bracket or attached to a luggage rack. What was really wanted were side cases (like hard saddlebags) figuring that one could store more in two medium-sized side cases than one large top case.

Measure the space you have to work with before you buy your cases. These are the 'medium' ones, but sizes can change depending on the supplier.
