Dot bought a 2010 FZ1 last weekend and she is loving it. She asked to check on luggage, particularly side bags. Any recommendations? With pictures?  Thanks.

Givi bags V57 and SW-motech rack.

Love mine and looks great because you can easily remove the racks.

I have a generic top case if she goes this route.  Looks like the SW rack may support it.   Thumbsup

And in case you are wondering, the SW Motech rack will work with a fender eliminator and does not require and cutting, which the GIVI rack requires.

Depends on what you want.  A set of coretech sport soft bags would work great and looks great as well.  Unless you are absolutely set on hard.

Yamaha do offer the same bags as the FJR with a mounting kit for the FZ1, I was looking into this for my FZ1 and confirmed that. Pricey though. Guessing Givi better value.
