AFAIK the limitation in wideness is the measure printed in your
license papers and this measure should normally reflect the size of your
steering (aeh, Lenker ?). But as long as your baggage can be removed
without tools, you can't get punished for your GIVI cases
(think about a ski-carrier on your car - it makes it higher than printed
in the license too, but as long as it is fixed temporarily there, you
don't get any problems)

On the other hand, I have heard about problems about an unremovable
Topcase with the TUEV ... They wanted to insert an entry in the papers ...

For german readers:

:-)))   Have you ever set up your KBG ?
          (kritisches Beifahrer Gewicht)       (critical weight of sozia)
          Mine is about 55kg :-))) 

But XT riders told me values of about 45kg :-(

Greets,
