re givi side panniers - jabbascot - 03-10-12 hi am buying givi side panniers and on their sit they only recommend the 21 litre for the gen 1.has anyone experience with larger box's. any advise would be appreciated steve Re: re givi side panniers - phil on a fazer - 03-10-12 i asked this a long time ago as i was thinking of getting them. It seems that loads of Fazer owners put bigger boxes on with no problems. the only thing i think could be a problem is if your carrying a pillion, it may reduce their space as the Fazer itsn't big and roomy like a dedicated tourer. Re: re givi side panniers - smegfish1 - 03-10-12 I think it was more to do with the weight on the subframe. Yamaha wouldn't recommend anything bigger than 21L, but plenty of people on here have used bigger, 2 up as well with no problems. Re: re givi side panniers - tommyteeman - 03-10-12 wasnt it something like the '03 on fazers had stronger subframe and it was only the 01/02 that they advised to only use the 21L cases ? Re: re givi side panniers - sadlonelygit - 03-10-12 03 owner here. E36's + a 47l top box stuffed full of her things. iirc there was 70+kg of her shit essentials Re: re givi side panniers - Tmation - 03-10-12 There is a sticker under the seat on my bike that says something like maximum rack loading 7kg or 15.4 lb. My bike is 8 years old and I have used this set up (fully loaded) most summers for touring without problem and yes I have checked my subframe for cracking V46 (46 ltr) top box and E41 (41ltr) side cases. Re: re givi side panniers - MEM62 - 03-10-12 I don't use panniers on my Fazer 1000 as I have a VFR800 that I use for touring.  However, I do use a pair of Givi E360 (40Litre) boxes as panniers on that and have never had any issues.  I am sure they would be OK on the Fazer too.  Re: re givi side panniers - jabbascot - 03-10-12 thanks for info guys
