Premium Member builderbob Posted October 3, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted October 3, 2015 I'm pretty sure I've read that the Yamaha top and side cases are actually Shad, which is a sister company of Givi. Their "less expensive" line of products, if you would. I would be surprised if that was true. GIVI is Italian and Shad is in Spain, but it certainly is possible.

Kappa is the cheaper sister brand to Givi. They use the same Monokey/Monolock fitting system. I have Kappa cases I am not aware of any connection between Shad and the Italian mob This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

Premium Member wessie Posted January 31, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted January 31, 2016 The Givi E21 panniers mentioned in this thread are now discontinued by Givi. They have the E22 now - these have a different shape lid with 1 litre more capacity. See this thread for a discounted, end of line sale on the E21 http://fj-09.org/thread/3000/givi-e21n-side-cases-line from Germany.

arnelx Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 The OEM Yamaha cases are also made by Givi. I got the rear carrier and a 39L case for AUD$450 (US$317) from the dealer. Got any photos of your own top case? I'm interested in the OEM 50L myself. But I still need to research too cases for build quality, price, and looks! Many people are going with the GIVI.

dan77 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Will be possible to use the key bike to open this V47? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member wessie Posted July 29, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted July 29, 2016 Will be possible to use the key bike to open this V47?no - Givi locks are very different but you can key all your Givi cases to one key This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

joolsb5 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Will be possible to use the key bike to open this V47?no - Givi locks are very different but you can key all your Givi cases to one key The v47 uses the new security lock, only the latest panniers use this lock, so this may not be entirely correct - depends on the what's being used.

zachd Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 My V47 cannot be keyed the same as my E41 sidecases. The lock systems are entirely different. I tried to retrofit the same lockset in the sidecases into the topcase, but didn't have any luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member wessie Posted August 14, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted August 14, 2016 the extra secure lock is a bit of a joke on a case made from plastic that can be entered easily with a Dremel or heat source...

Premium Member washufiddyfo Posted February 22, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted February 22, 2017 For anyone with this case that also happened to order the Admore kit, might want to check and see if all of your lights are working. Took a rare instance when I had flashers on with the lid up for me to notice that the amber lights were burned out entirely. Upon closer inspection, on one side you could see the reds were dying off also (on one side each module had 3 red dots, on the other 1-2). Sent admore an email, and even though it was 1+ yr and out of warranty they stood by their product and replaced it, which was good to hear esp given they weren't inexpensive. Also nice to see that their replacement product fixed an initial disappointment, in that they are significantly brighter. Each side now has 12 LED modules vs 8, and they are all dual color, as opposed to the original which has alternating dedicated red and amber colors.
