Givi WP405 Saddlebags

[Squibb]

Has anyone tried the Givi Hi-Viz WP405 saddlebags - waterproof soft bags with a submersible style roll top design, they are a similar idea to Ortleib.

I'm thinking about these for next season on my XT1200ZE, as I am not keen on hard luggage on the sides - trouble is they really need frames to keep them secure & avoid damage to the bike, but I don't think Givi have sorted this out for the ZE models yet (it will be PL/PLR2119 when launched I think & probably twice the cost of the pair of bags). Alternatively I could get a set of frames fabricated locally I guess, as the Givi jobs will be way OTT for the task. I see Jesse no longer make frames; anyway they are expensive for UK import.

Has anyone got experience with the Givis & any ideas regarding frames?

I got a set of these givi´s, and will be making a side rack for them, but for the moment I´m out of my country(México), when I get back I ´ll start building them, doesn´t look too complicated. then have them powder coated.

These are nice. I'm also wondering if anyone has come up with racks for soft bags for the Tenere.

Twisted Throttle and Hepco Becker come to mind for racks.

I just got a set of PL2119 Givi Monokey racks and unscrewed the 'monokey' tabs so the racks are flush, my soft bags now mount perfectly, and should I decide I want hard luggage (probably never) I have that option....

Yep, I bought the Givi Monokey PLR367 quick release racks for my Nelson Rigg soft bags, and they have been working out well. Best price for new was ebay @ $185/US, I think it was from Parts Unlimited Canada. Eventually, I will make a removable aluminum plate with a 90 degree bend that will support the bag underneath which will eliminate the crossover across the seat that connect the bags.
