2014 bike **** - still gotta paint the Givi..

[Eric L]

I don't mind the look without the factory mount. Its not unattractive.

 

[Bogus]

What kind of sliders are those? They almost look like ones that fit the Gen ll's.

 

[Eric L]

they are actually quite custom cut for genIII. Motivation Accessories.

Iris, quick and dirty

I think it would look better if you left that gas tank band Silver....for a little break up of the red.

 

[SoCalFJR1300]

And what is up with Yamaha putting the brand on the leading top edge of the front fender?

They've been doing that for years.

 

[biknflyfisher]

Sorry, just not into those Givi top cases, otherwise, outstanding!

 

[creg-ny-baa]

If I put a topcase on the FJR (which I don't plan to) I'd really like something with the lines of the Yamaha version, just not so ginormous. I'm a huge fan of GiVi quality, and ease of mounting, but somehow that aero, big lozenge shape just doesn't quite match the rest of the bike. But that sort of thing is entirely an individual choice.

 

[Eric L]

thats funny, i always thought the Yamaha topcase was fugly. Maybe they all are fugly.

I use the Givi v47 on my 2013. It's got an angular look to it and it's the only case Givi offered that I thought looked good at all with the bike. The rest seem to be the rounded UFO style. All a matter of opinion, of course.

Yes, That is a sweet color that red. saying that iv'e always had a soft spot for red cars as well. Just my 2c worth here......leave the piece below the tank silver and do the side cover red to break it.

That's exactly what Yamaha Europe did...

 

[pcarnut]

Now that doesn't look too bad, leaving some silver breaks up what is otherwise a lot of a strong color.

 

[leclairk]

Hell yes! Painting those side panels is a must. That looks great.

 

[Eric L]

Painting those will probably cost as much as picking up a pair of red ones

 

[Niehart]

I thought the same thing. As long a their model color is the same ...

 

[Bogus]

According to the European Yamaha website, the red is listed as Lava Red. They also have Magnetic Bronze and Midnight Black. Don't know if the color is the same as Candy Red here.

The reds do not look the same. The Lava Red appears darker, maybe a bit more maroon, than the Candy Red.

 

[Eric L]

I don't understand the need to have region specific reds. Any wonder why Yamaha isn't making money with their MC division? It's the paint! The paint is killing them.

 

[HotRodZilla]

I call ********. I'll bet the reds are the same.

 

[Eric L]

on the 2014 yamaha fiche, they list only two variations. silver and deep red metallic. No candy apple red. So I think HRZ is correct.

colorrite calls the usa color deep red metallic.

2 side panels are $200 total. Looks like $150 for the pair at some mail order sites. What do you think, is it worth it to be unique?
