Givi for '87-93' EX500?

[panther289]

Hello all,
  Don't know if this will get moved to another area, so I'll try here first.
  I am currently looking over EBay for a side/ saddlebag luggage setup from Givi for the '87-93' Kawasaki EX500. I had scene one awhile ago and didn't get it when I had the chance. If anyone knows of or comes across one,preferably new, please let me know. I've found the rear for the monokey box and will be getting it soon.
  If there is another system (i.e.SW Mototech) and you have a link that will work too.
  Thanks, Panther

Scratch that. The shop just called and the fork tubes are bad. At $150 to $170 a tube plus $180 for the labor it's not worth the $520 to put into an older bike when I'm considering a new bike next season.

Find a front end off an CBR600F2 on ebay.  I recall it being a bolt on and go.
Or.
Just get a new bike in the spring....

I talked to the mechanic that did the forks. He cleaned the pitting the best he could. Gave the tubes a little honing and added heavier oil. Said it should last the rest of the season. So, it looks like a new(er) EX500 or maybe the 650R.
  If anyone comes arcoss the Givi saddle luggage rack system for the '94-07' EX500 please let me know. Found the top rack for the newer model years.

Thanks, Panther
