Luggage options

[cfoley]

From memory, the FZS specific fitting kit is (was?) around £80, a Wingrack2 around £150, a top plate £45, all new.

So that's ~£275 without the boxes. Sounds like £550 -- £600 is about right with boxes.

I got the Yamaha dealer to get me a quote from Givi and they said they couldn't supply a fitting kit for my bike. You're right, it might be worth calling them again and asking about the universal fitting kit.

what exactly are you going to use the luggage system for?

The biggest use would be when my girlfriend and I go on biking holidays. Up until now, I've been strapping a bag to the pillion seat and wearing a backpack. It's adequate but inconvenient. I'd much rather have my luggage in hard panniers and have an empty topbox for us both to put our helmets in when we stop for a break. (a topbox wouldn't suit her dragstar).

Strictly speaking, it's totally unnecessary but by that logic, so is the entire bike.
