New owner looking to add a luggage rack for briefcase on morning commute. It's looking like the Givi rack is my only option. Any other sugesstions? And where to buy, what are the favorite mail order places for the CBR?
If there's another option, I haven't found it yet, either. I purchased the Givi SR1103 rack on eBay over the summer. A link to the seller's eBay store follows:
No problems at all with the seller. They shipped the rack promptly and it was a fairly easy installation. There doesn't appear to be a current eBay listing for the same item from this seller, but you might contact them directly and see if they have any in stock.
I just use a cargo net and strap my briefcase to the passenger seat. Alternatively, my wife has a cortech tail bag for commuting and I have seen tail and tank bags that could double as backpacks or briefcases. We have thus far avoided the need to purchase a luggage rack

Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind
Had to get away to see what we could find
Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen not to what's been said to you
I bought my Givi SR1103 from Twisted Throttle earlier this year. It was right when the rack came out, so there were significant delays. Now I suspect they have them in stock.
As a matter of fact, I just listed my barely used one for sale, listed on this forum under the market place threads. GIVI SR1103 Topcase mounting bracket
I have a GIVI box as well, but since I never take passengers on my bike, (at least while commuting), I decided to just mount my box directly to the passenger seat. I'll be buying another passenger seat soon, in case wife or sons ever do wish to go for a ride.
Two thumbs up to Desert Dweller! I recieved the Givi rack yesterday (super fast shipping) and it was in perfect condition with all mounting parts and directions. Only took a couple of minutes to mount and now I'm ready to commute to work with the my briefcase.
I think this may be why this site is so popular, a great bunch of folks hang out here.

Has anybody tried this? I have tried to order from them but cannot get a response via email let alone the goods and they will not allow shipment to India or take credit cards.
However, this looks a perfect set up, it is also listed on the givi.com.my site.
