Givi Pannier Racks

[JoeRock]

Evenings guys,

Looking at buying a set of Givi E21s and side racks off a fella on here, and had a couple questions about them? In the photo he's sent me, the indicators have been relocated up onto the topbox rack, and then there's a metal brace going between the pannier racks through the indicator holes? I'm sure I've seen givi panniers on bikes for sale though with the indicators in the usual place, so is this back brace not really needed, or is it a different type of rack or something?

Ta

They look like the standard givi side racks to me, but without the indicators having been changed?

had these fitted to my first fazer 1000 . i seem to remember the givi advises moving the indicators, but i never bothered! worked fine as they were.

cobbled up a wingrack to fit mine, indicators stayed put.
on the 357? kit it's a bit flimsy so has a rear brace which goes through the indicator openings.....................which means the indicators have to move.
E21's............can't fit much in them laddie!

Aaah thats' great news then, means I will be able to use them on the temporary basis I was planning without a load of faffing!

Nah I know they're not the biggest panniers out there, but I had a set of e41s on my old hornet 600, and the damn things made me as wide as a bus! I wanted the 21s so the bikes not really any wider than the bars - I've got a 55L givi maxia and a god-knows-how-many liter tank bag as well from Baglux so I'm relatively sure I couldn't physically need more luggage than that!

that bike on Ebay has a tail tidy on it thats why its got standard indicators , I have a standard rear end and have the set up you are after , I found that the cross brace could be routed behind the number plate and with E21 boxes the indicators are ok in the original position .
