Givi fitting kit - solorider - 03-01-12

After doing a search online I have found that givi do not list a fitting kit for a pannier set (hard cases) so has anyone managed to fit a kit to their bikes? I have a fj1200 fitting kit along with a vfr750 fitting kit and some parts of a Kawasaki kit but are there any reasons why I should not fit the kit,ie fitting issues,I don't want to go down the route of soft throw overs as one the don't hold enough and two I want some security!my bike is a 2001 model

I have seen givi side box's on gen 1's before so i assume they do or at least did do fitting kits for them.
i have a givi rack fitted and it has lugs ready to attach side racks. thought about doing it but never had the spare cash when i have seen them on ebay for sale.

I thought Givi did a wing rack and a normal side case fitting kit. I have SW Motech kit on my Gen 1.

Givi only do a kit to fit with their rack not to fit side cases on their own.

Going back to the rack when I did a search all I found was a top box rack,with 2 side brackets that will take only cruiser panniers,not the mono key panniers,and for some unknown reason givi only list the side brackets for the 2003-2006 models only,not for the 2001 and 2002 models

Re: Givi fitting kit - keithfzs1000 - 04-01-12

mine is an 02 and the 03-06 fitted, was a couple of mill out near the foot rest bolt but a little tug and hold it there till you push bolt through and bobs ye uncle Smile

That's correct something to do with weight on the rear of the frame.

Yeah, there's quite a low weight limit attached to the arms I've got, exceeded it without problems though, and as you can see, people have loaded them up too Smile

Re: Givi fitting kit - eddie - 05-01-12

ditto ...no problem with top box an panniers an swmbo

Re: Givi fitting kit - solorider - 05-01-12

i thinking of modifying one of the kits that i have and the arms of the rack im going to mount to the rear footrests,that should take a lot of the load from the subframe,in a similar way to how my vfr rack is fitted
