Yes, that's right.

I have two 40l-Honda-cases (identical with H&B) and I'm absolutely happy  
with them. The first owner of my AT had an additional Givi-Topcase, but I  
think a 60l-bag is much cheaper and just as good as a case.

Look on my homepage for a picture of the AT with the H&B-cases.

The H&B-cases can only be used on one side - right case for the right  
side, left case for the left side. You can't change one below the other.

A Givi-case can be used on both sides (of course only if you have the Givi- 
carrier) and as a top-case (with an adapter)

Should not be a problem.


Gruss,

      Dirk.
