Made an observation I'll share for what it's worth or perhaps it's been mentioned before. I have a Givi Maxia trunk that came with my 06 Connie. At higher speeds (freeway/highway) I noticed the rear end seemed kind of 'loose' and tried different suspension settings, etc. to no avail. Then, I tried a trip this past weekend without the trunk on - what a difference! The bike handled like a dream! Live and learn!
