deezeeuk Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Having seen some fantastic posts with other peoples experience with luggage, I wanted some panniers that complimented the ultra modern look of the bike as a whole. Anyway, I ordered a pair of Givi Trekker Outback, 37ltr in Black. These where from AccessoriMotoStore.com and took 5 working days from order, to delivery in the UK. They fit the bike really well (IMO) and they are marginally narrower than the handlebars, by a whole 2cms! or 3/4", whichever you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member wessie Posted June 15, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hi deezee. I considered those as they are similar to the top loaders I had on my Super Tenere. I decided the cost was too much, considering the bargain basement price of the bike. I went for some more traditional Kappa K40, also bought from Italy. Hope to see you some time. Off for a holiday with johan on the weekend but I'm sure we'll arrange another UK meeting sometime. Where are you based? This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deezeeuk Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'm near Chester. Hopefully these panniers will last a long time and they'll go on the next one, in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trench Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Wow, I don't think those compliment the design of the bike at all. Wrong shape and totally different micro design (riveted look). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member johan Posted June 15, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 15, 2015 I think it's a question of function over form and for that I like it. The perfect shape to fit bags into and lift them out of, easy to pack and durable. Givis, FJR cases also look dated, too rounded off for the angular looks of the bike.

trench Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Agreed on the function over form. The stock hard Yamaha cases are probably the best shape, but need some color accents or other bling to make them pop. In any event, these square monstrosities look pretty bad.

sixcharlie Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Can you post of pick of the bike with out the panniers on? I'd like to see how the mounting hardware looks / works. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaine Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Vex, thanks for the info!....deezeeuk, can you do a pick with the side profile? Also do they interfere with the passenger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deezeeuk Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'm back from work today, so should be out on the bike this evening as it looks pretty sunny. I should have the photos up sometime this evening, say 8pm GMT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deezeeuk Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Here are the photos of the side and without the panniers fitted, just the frames. Nothing interferes with anything. As you'd expect its all very light, hardly affects suspension. when they are on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db5304 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Not sure what it is, but those are some sexy side cases. I'm now regretting going with shad, although these are a bit more pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaine Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Deezee, it looks like the frame attaches to the tag mount as well. Is this the case? If that is the case I'm screwed. Thanks for putting up the picks. Now I'll know what it is going to look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
