Thats partly true. You are still above 1m :-))
At least it is symetric. The information you got, is definitly wrong.
Have a look at
http://www-normans.isd.uni-stuttgart.de/~dipper/xrv/1st-meeting/
(atmeet15.jpg, atmeet01.jpg atmeet11.jpg)
There you can find some pictures of my AT with alu-boxes mounted on the
H&B carrier. Mounting a topcase is possible, but in may case it has to be
small enough to suit between the alu boxes. If you have "round" plastic
cases this shouldn"t be such a big problem, but you have to test it on
your bike (30l should be no problem)

Topcase plate is seperate. Use two symmetric cases.
There are special solutions from RMS or Touratech. They provide
unsymmetric boxes with "holes" for the exhaust and/or new side covers.
This makes your bike much less wide, but these solutions are horrible in
price ... (aaprox. 1500,-- DM)

Should be possible in 2-3 hours.
