'02 800 interceptor panniers question...

[clippedwing]

Hey guys

I've always been a "cruiser" guy.  I'm lookin' at buying a 2002 Interceptor, and I have a question...I understand this is the first year for vtec, and accomodations for bags.  

The mounts on the '02 are for Givi bags.  Does anyone know if those mounts have changed since '02?  ie...have the mounts changed to accomodate "Honda oem" bags?  

I'll be checkin' in more in the future....

Thanks for any info...

Regards
David

The OEM bags are made by Givi, but are different than the bags Givi sells themselves.

In any case, the mount points haven't changed. But you gotta figure out what exact mounts the bike has...

Howdy, not to pull members away from ST.n, but you're more than welcome to join up over on http://www.vfrdiscussion.com (if you haven't already) and share your experiences, ask questions, etc.

There's a ton of helpful VFR owners and modding fools standing by to help you spend you money on your bike!

The Givi bags are flat on the back and the rack extends directly down beside the pipes.
The Honda OEM bags tuck back under the pipes so the rack wraps around the pipe.

I'll second veefer800canuck's mention of VFRD, good folks over there
