With rd07 and Givi, the only effect I noticed with 5* carrier was, that
the top case wobbles a bit, because of the original "rubber laid"
mounting of the Honda carrier. The side cases did not swing noticeable
(at least for me, the driver).
With a "sligthly modified" Givi Wingrack the swinging of sidecases is a
bit worse, maybe because there is no additional steel as Dietmar did
already mentionen.
But, after simply turning the rear White Power to hard, all swinging,
wobbling and whatever simply disapeared.
As I never had a shimmy-effect, except when the stearing head bearing
was loose/damaged, you might check that also. And I would definitly
check the rear damper of your bike, maybe it is already too soft to
handle a loaded bike.
best regards and have a nice trip,
Martin
