Blue Wheels Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I just received and mounted a pair of Givi engine guards this week, which I purchased from eBay, on my '19 Tracer 900 GT. They fit perfectly, but after I installed them, I began to read the warranty. There was no mention of the name "Givi" anywhere on the warranty paperwork. So I checked the carton in which I received it. The name was not there, or on the wrap of the product, or in the installation "instructions." The install directions did mention the model "TN2139" which is listed on the Givi dealership websites. So, did I get the real deal, or did I get a knockoff? The price was relatively low: $192 U.S., including shipping and tax. Oh, and the clamp-on "Givi" name plate, which is on the published photos, was not included.

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted November 30, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted November 30, 2020 Sounds fishy. Photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Interesting. If it's a knock off, it sounds really high quality. (for a knock off) '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfifer Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 For what it's worth I checked my dealer fitted Givi crash Bars to see if there were any "stampings" on the bars proclaiming Givi. There were not. I realise that "a negative" does not help your certainty !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKE002 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 we have plenty of knock off look alike give bar here, however its not posted as Givi but crash bar for Tracer/Tracer GT. cost around usd50-60, shape to look similar. but i guess its still solid, even for a knock off, perhaps maybe get a new quality screw instead.

harraseeket Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 i was thinking of installing the givi crash bars on my 900 gt. has anybody done so and experienced any new vibration or noise issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Wheels Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 I've thrown away the carton. Think I will contact the eBay seller to ask if he can verify the manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) I have the givi bars fitted and i have not experienced any vibration or noise. They are pretty solid but mine came with poor quality bolts. I ended up ordering new bolts to replace them.

Blue Wheels Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Update: I contacted the eBay seller. He said that Givi has discontinued including the nameplate that fits the center crossbar of the engine guards. I also checked the Givi website, and viewed the installation instructions for several of their products. None have the manufacturer's name. So I've convinced my self that mine are original. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
