Givi Luggage

[Z-Faucon]

I have a Gen 2 and thinking about getting Givi hard luggage. V35 for side bags. Who has these and what has been your experience? Do they effect handling at speed? Enough capacity? Any issues?

Also, I am not sure which top case to add - the V46 may be too big? or the E360? anyone who has these I am really interested in your opinion.

Thanks!

I just run a top case on the Busa, but I ran the side bags on the old CBR1100xx and it did not affect handling at speed. They did cause wobble if you took your hands of the bars while on decel though. I have the e460's and they are pretty big. The v35's would be a lot sleeker. If I were to add side bags again, I'd prolly go with the E41's now.

If you want to run V35 sides cases, you have to buy SW-Motech Side mounts and then also use the SW-Motech Alu-Rack for the top case. I just priced out a V35 and V46 set-up for a Gen II bike

I ordered a Givi E55 Tech with light kit + Rack for my 2008 Busa ...

You can see what it looks like ... will install it next summer ... its winter here in Canada ...

Pat, those racks don't look like SW-Motech. They look like Givi's. But I think Givi may only make Busa racks for top cases. If we want to install side bags then we gotta get SW-Motechs. That box looks big enough. Happy Winter!

I know it's Givi, rack and case

I preferred top case vs side cases ... And with a 55 liters case, I don't need more spaces

By the way ... The side rack from SW-Motech need the full fender ... Can't be install with a fender eliminator I think ...

It can be done. I've seen it a few times.

Yeah, you do not need the fender - the fender connecter bar will just span across to connect both side racks. Does not look as clean, but works fine.

I have the Givi 46L topcase with the Givi 21L saddlebags on my 09 Busa. My wife and I do a lot of two up touring. This setup works great. Heres one pic. Not the greatest angle for you to see how they look but I'll try to post some better pictures later.
