new2me Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I been debating what upgrades i want to do to the bike and luggage finally won over the exhaust. It was between Shad & Givi until i had heard about Kappa. (The sister company to Givi) So today i put in the order and in about 10-15 days i will past pic's and opinions. All said and done i spent less than $450 to my door. I could have saved $200 if i wanted to fab my own brackets but that would just delay things.

chino Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 New2me. Where were you able to order these kappa bags. I have been doing extensive research on these and I believe these are the bags for me. The should not be as wide as the Givi v35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been doing extensive research on these and I believe these are the bags for me. The should not be as wide as the Givi v35. I ordered them from a ebay seller out of Italy. The cases were supposed to be delivered Friday but never showed up so I'm in the process of tracking it down. I'll update asap. I do believe the kappa were more narrow than givi but they are also 2l smaller. 35 vs 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member wessie Posted April 19, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted April 19, 2016 outlet_ricambi ships kappa luggage worldwide from Naples in Italy. I ordered my K40 side cases from them and they got to the UK inside a week I can't provide a link as they have separate listings for different versions of Ebay but just search on your local Ebay domain This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

Premium Member foxedupone Posted April 19, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted April 19, 2016 Just my top box is Kappa on a Givi rack. Exactly the same as Givi just cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chino Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Just my top box is Kappa on a Givi rack. Exactly the same as Givi just cheaper. That is nice. Did not think the silver would work. The k33n are slightly narrower than the Givi v35s. That is the biggest plus for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member foxedupone Posted April 20, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted April 20, 2016 My side cases are 35L globescouts On Hepko Becker rack. Great value, great features looks just like OEM BMW cases or similar to Givi but better seals, better locks and hinges etc... They are made in Turkey. https://advdepot.com/collections/fj-09-mt-09-tracer-2015/products/globescout-xpan-pannier-kit-fj-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertfjr Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Perhaps the most hideous setup I have ever laid eyes on. That said, they appear to provide copious amounts of secure storage. I think you can skip crash bars as the bags will keep the sides of the bike from ever getting close to the ground. You should be visible from the ISS when venturing out on a Sunday drive.
