61 to 62 business days for delivery from Germany. I think they’ve duct taped it to a tortoise and pointed it in the general direction of the UK.

Anyway, if and when it arrives, I’ll let you know how it fits, looks and functions. I may glue in some layers of scotch brite abrasive scouring pad to dissipate the energy from any water flying round the tyre.
I don’t plan on riding in bad weather, but I won’t be able to avoid it if I head for the Stelvio Pass in 2022.

I also have a 60litre waterproof sausage bag for strapping across the pillion seat on order from Amazon.
Again, pics and opinion when it arrives.

61 to 62 days is an outrageous delivery schedule (if you could call it that)

I've noticed that Givi accessories are also taking longer if coming from Italy. I guess we will start to see the effects of Brexit more and more on imported stuff.

I wouldn't worry about the rain on the Stelvio. In summer on the Alps it is easy to find a downpour, but they don't last long. Usually as soon as you have finished wearing the rain gear the clouds move away and the sun shines.
However, I hope that the tortoise will reach you by '22...

You are not lucky with your order I paid around 20 € a supposed chinese model delivered in 7 days and it fit easily on the right side.

Initial mounting too far from the wheel
