You're right, but I also use this case on my Valk and the reds don't match. If I decide to use it exclusively on the RX-3, then I'll stripe or paint an accent section. Thanks.

A full face helmet will fit and this Coocase was designed with that in mind. Unfortunately, this particular model, the V-28, is no longer available so you may have to do some research into finding an equivalent. It comes with a base plate that is held onto the rack with 2 nuts and bolts that line up with precut holes in both the rack and base plate. It's very sturdy, but if you were to take on a passenger and use the case as a backrest, I would add a third nut and bolt. For that you would probably have to drill the rack.

I did have another rear case for a while from JC Whitney that was much larger, 48 liters I believe, but it was old and didn't hold up to offroading.
