scuff Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 These pannier rails were purchased for Elaine as she had a pair of hardly used Givi V35 panniers left over from her last bike. Ordered from Here and they arrived from Italy within the week. Fitting was very easy, although the instructions were a little obscure. We liked the fact that the rails could be removed within seconds if the panniers were not being used, which left an unclutterd look to the rear of the bike. This image shows the footrest bracket, Just these and the top lugs are left if you remove the QD rails. The top mounting QD Lugs. The rails are removed by the used of a triangular key, which is supplied. There is a bracing rail that joins the two sides which is not shown - 'cos I forgot The panniers are just under 4 inches/10cm wider each side than the Yamaha city panniers fitted on my tracer.

glenview09 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Looks good and I was intending to get V35s when my bike finally arrives but it looks like there is a lot of lost real estate because of the curvature of the panniers. Is this designed to give clearance for high level exhausts? Can the quick release system still be used with the rear cross brace in place or does one of the cross brace bolts need loosening to allow withdrawal?

I dont know why there is room, I presume that Givi had a reason. There are 8 QR bolts holding everything in place. You only need to undo one of the cross brace bolts and that takes under a second to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwirk Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 That looks great! Anyone know if these are available in the US? I can't find anything on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Givi have pretty good websites tailored to regional markets - however the FJ09 is not on the USA site. There seems to be quite a large network of dealers shown on http://www.giviusa.com/dealers so perhaps contact one of them. Alternatively, see if the Italian dealer will ship to the USA. I have bought from them and shipping was only about $8 to the UK - click the UK flag for English This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

fuqyamaha Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Any chance you can repost the pics of the Givi luggage on the bike? I'm about to order it but would like to see it first. Your posted pictures seemed to have lost the links in your post, so I can't view it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db5304 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I did an inspect and found the source of his photos. Looks like file names might have changed. Here is the index, hopefully OP doesn't mind. Looks like the photos of the luggage are the v35-xx images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkdozer Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Hi.are the v35 pannier wider than the handle bar? I suppose the pannier will not be an issue under heavy traffic riding (city)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
