  1. I know what you mean. I can get my Shoei NXR in the Givi panniers, but not my brother's Shark, which is bigger because it has an internal sun visor (and because he has a fat head). I'm OK with the odd shape of the Givis (I have the fitted bags for them) -- you soon learn how to pack them, but it's not as easy as it would be for the big adventure-style boxes.
  2. Can you get a full face helmet in the FJR cases? I'll have a look and see what's available on e-Bay, but I think I'll end up getting a new Givi frame and go back to using those when I need more storage capacity. Thanks for all the replies, people.
  3. I've just bought a 2019 Tracer 900 GT after my 2016 MT-09 Tracer was stolen earlier this year. The GT has the Yamaha panniers. They fit quickly and easily, but they're a bit small. You can't get a full face helmet in one for starters. I had Givi V35 panniers with the removable frame on my previous bike. (Luckily not on it when it was stolen). I can get a new removable Givi frame for the 2019 bike, but it means I can no longer use the factory panniers. Does anyone know of any larger panniers that use the same mountings as the factory ones? One trick I've heard about is to use FJR 1300 panniers, but are there any other alternatives? Cheers, Tim
