Nice.... What type of tank bag do you have.... I see you have one that locks on?!? I am in the market for one and so far like the Givi T480. Pics?

 

[coastie]

It is the City Tank Bag. I only have this one crappy picture, but i believe there is an entire thread on it if you do a search.

They also have a powered bracket so you can have power inside your tank bag.

Any body using the Kappa Garda panniers yet?

I'm only an occasional pannier user, mostly just ride with the OEM topbox, and didn't want to spend a fortune on panniers, these seem to fit the bill.

Well I added the Givi Racks and then went a different route for Panniers.
I bought the rask online about $200 and they had free shipping
Bought the panniers off ebay ( Pakmister) for $350 The corners could use better grinding but ehh.
As I wont have them on much but when Im camping and then just until I set up camp.
I didnt want to spend $1200 and they are not as pretty for sure but they are sturdy and I wont care if they get a ding.
They are better in my mind then softbags but to each his own .

it seems there is sort of an interference between the GIVI bottom cross bar connecting frame to frame and that exhaust gas. Especially with that aftermarket pipe. Basically, does the exhaust gas hit the cross bar???

I have no such issues whatsoever with Akrapovic.

Thanks to a post by "cosmic", I saved myself the embarrassing lopsided 33/46 "suggestion" by Givi and went straight for the 33/33 and a 52L topcase! That pic you had was dreadful...I can't imagine when they thought that looked good and the slight asymmetry of the dual 33L sidecase setup was somehow worse than their "suggestion"

Anyhow, here it is...

I'am glad that you found it helpful. Looks great. Btw, i upgraded my top case with the new Trekker also. I've been riding recently with some serious downpour at 150km/h, and not a single drop came in.
Do you use those nice silver bags for the 33's?

no interior bags yet. I had a set of Givi on my Super Blackbird for about 12 years and simply used my side and top cases as suitcases when going into and out of campsites, hotels, etc. I have, however, thought about getting a topcase interior bag. Several times, especially when going into a hotel room late, and just for the night or short stays, I would like to have had an "overnight bag" to easily take into and out of the room without detaching and toting a cumbersome piece of motorcycle luggage.

Givi QD racks and E360 side cases.

 

[cosmic]

That's what i ment. Those trekkers are so damn heavy to carry around, and sometimes really dirty. I'll rather loose some space than carry them in/out hotels/motels.

I had a Givi E460 on my bike and then sold it.. Long story.. Now I use a Watershed Chattooga bag when I'm traveling light(motels). Also a small bag for tennis shoes. Works great, saves weight and is really waterproof. I can recommend highly.

After finding these on Ebay at a good price, £386 with panniers and quick release frame, I went for it. They were from an Italian supplier so I was a little dubious about delivery time, but they arrived within 2 days of the payment going through.
Not as good looking as the ali boxes, but as I hardly ride with panniers I couldn't justify spending twice as much. It also leaves money for a decat pipe now. A normal Givi rail is about £120 with the quick release rails being closer to £200. Looking at it that way means I got two new cases for £186. Happy.

Finally got em. Pelican 1550's purchased for $150. Total cost $300, happy camper....
