What do ya think of my GIVI?

[RTSR1/FJR]

After much thought and running back and forth to Daytona this last week, it became evident that I needed more storage! I've solved that! What do you all think?

kick ass looks topknoch i think i will opt for soft bag bungied to a custom back rack

Is that the V46 or E52? Looks good!

E52 I guess? MAXIA is what I was told it is. Tried the V46, but the fit of 2 helmets was really tight, so I got the bigger MAXIA (52 liter). No problem getting 2 helmets and then some. Just that inch makes the dif.

MAXIA

The dimensions of this case are:

23"L x 16.8"W x 11.5"H

V46

The dimensions of these cases are:

22L" x 17"W x 13"H

Looks good :clap: ...I've been thinking about a topcase myself...didn't care for the looks of the yamaha case. I would be interested in pictures of the bike with bag removed. Only thing stopping me is ruining the look of the tail

That looks very nice. I went with the V46 because I though the E52 would look huge but it doesn't look much different from the V46 on the bike.

I found the paint on the Givi rack to be pretty poor. There is no primer under it and it is likely to rust pretty quick. I also didn't like the color so I painted mine. There are also a couple of threads on the forum talking about powder coating for it.

RTSR1/FJR: Can you post pictures of the mounting rack/plate alone (without the top case)?? I would like to see what it looks like in terms of overall bike look and fit/finish up close.

It makes your butt look big.

My Butt is big, so what! lol I'll get some pics out of the mount. I put the spec's of the 2 in the 4th post to compare the V46 & E52.

Ok, just for you guys, I went out in the dead of night and snapped some pics for you! It was freezing out! Must of been 75 degrees! lol

Hope these do it for you BrunDog! The fit and finish seem to be fine. I see nothing wrong with it. Time will tell. If need be at a later date, I'll have it PC'd. Color matches fine I think, but I do have an '03 though, so the silver is very close.
