    Ignition Switch Failure

    Ive had two instances where I turned the key to the ON position and nothing happened. The bike only came alive after I flipped the key back and forth 10 times. Mine is getting ready to puke on me, too.

    Removing the Givi V46 Lid

    I bought one of those G46's sometime ago. I ended up with a lemon. Mine is junk. The lid latch if very difficult to use. Sometimes the latch gets stuck and I have to pry it with a small screwdriver in order to open the case. On the first ride out, my custom colored lid flipped off and cracked...

    Yamaha vs Givi Trunk

    I have a V46 and had nothing but problems with it. During the first ride, the top cover ripped off and that inturn broke the right reflector. Most of the time, the latch doesnt work and I need to pry the latch with the small flat headed screw driver to get the lid open. For the amount I paid...

    A short ride, but costly

    I didnt lose my saddle bag, but I lost the top cover off of my brand new GIVI V46. :angry03: The wind ripped in clean off. When the new one comes in, Im gonna secure by using industrial strength velco or 1/4" hardware.

    Top Gun PIAA Brackets for 06 & 07 FJR

    I recently purchased these brackets and mounted a set PIAA's 1100x's to them. I bought them because the picture in the advertisement appealed to me.
