I'm planning to get a GIVI V35N side case with the fitting kit. I'am wondering if it will still fit because I have replace my stock pipe to two brothers already

Thanks :thumbup:

Finally, I install the Givi V35N with the (PLX-351, MR-351FZ and M-11) even I have change my stock pipe to TWO BROTHERS it fit. :thumbup:

By request, here's a link to some pictures of my bike with the bags on, then with the bags off and the racks still on, and finally with the racks off.

Link works fine.

Looks good without the racks. :thumbup:

Nice pics Fred :thumbup:, it looks real easy to mount. I somehow missed this when it came by first time.

Fred/George could you be so kind and share approximate cost info on your setups?

Would the bags interfere with passenger seating?

Thank You!

 

[saddletramp]

nice installation.

 

[JaredM]

I am considering the same install...what did you have to do to relocate turn signals? The pictures look like stock?

 

[lonesoldier84]

brilliant. saddlebags the way to go. look brilliant way better than alternatives.

FZPilot, its cost around $680 and it wouldn't interfere your back ride :Sport:

I have a question or two. I am looking for a 3 hard bag setup for my 08 fz6. Here is what I'm looking for and those in the know can tell me what I would need or if it can be done.

I would like a top rack and side rails that will allow the givi cases. I want removeable sideracks. A top rack that looks decent on the bike when no bag is attatched.
I don't want anything that requires anything but bolt on installation. I don't want to cut my body work in any way.
So what would be my best options do you think?

 

[Fred]

Well, the Motech side racks will come off (see my pictures in this thread) leaving the bike looking almost stock.

The Motech top rack won't come off the same way, and you do have to cut the bodywork in two places.

The GIVI top rack doesn't require that the bodywork be cut, but nobody's ever tried fitting the GIVI top rack with Motech side racks. They may not work together.

Hope this helps.

I too have been looking at the SW-Moto side rack or the Givi Rack...I don't have the money for the Givi bags, so I have been tinkering with cheaper alternatives. I was wondering if the Pelican Case 1430 Top Loaders or even the side loading cases would fit there. The top loaders would do better for me I think but I just don't know the fit. Any help/ideas guys?

Do you know how drastic/difficult the bodywork cutting is for the Motech top rack? I'm looking at the .pdf install instructions but it's not clear how hairy this cutting would be.

I haven't a clue, sorry.

This picture seems to indicate that the cut is made in the black plastic part of the tail, under the passenger grab rails. So I doubt if it'll be that visible so long as you do a good job with the cutting.

The V35N's look very nice, I am sorely tempted.

I have an '04 Fazer and I want to get the givi v35 plx cases on my bike.

Does anyone know if the sw motech quicklock removable pannier rack works on the 04 model? After reading things here I've started to get worried that it will only work on the later 07+ models and that there must be some differences in the rear of the newer fz6's, although I can't tell what the differences are.

I have a cheap top box rack on the bike at the moment that doesn't interfere with any of the mounting points that I can see are needed for the pannier system. So that will stay on the bike if it fits together ok.

If anyone can shed some light on this I'd be willing to pay a gazillion imaginary pounds!

Thanks

 

[fz6blue]

Well I've spoken to one company who stock the product and they think it fits 07+ but aren't sure whether it would fit an 04 anyway as they can't see a difference in mounting points.. a little help here please guys?

Thanks
