Givi Hard Luggage mounted to FZ1

[Volfy]

Kinda have to agree.  Pannier in general do make pretty good frame sliders.

They did in my case (pun intended!)  


Here was the bike after the new exhaust and seat.

Doug-

Its been so long, why did you get rid of the Fizzer?

Why do birds fly? Fish swim?
Doug gets rid of bikes.

'Tis true.  


And, I so happened to test ride the following bike and could NOT get it out of my head.

As an FZ1 rider for 9 years - if ever there was a reason --- that's it.

I just added hard luggage to my FZ back in the fall. I went for the Kappa side bags which are the givi copies but less cost. I went with the SW Motech rack system.

[squeezer]

Very nice.  

[R Doug]

Very nice.  

Indeed.

[Volfy]

Indeed.

+2.  FZ1 with triple hardbags like that is hard to beat for a one-tool-in-the-garage kinda bike.  A sport touring, canyon carving, top-end screaming, streetfighting litre sport.  What's not to like?

I can relate.

Thanks guys! I had a 07 FJR1300 which I loved. The FJR was for my wife and I to ride together but she isn't able to ride much anymore so I sold the FJR. I was without a bike for 5 months until this FZ came along. I tried some soft luggage but after being spoiled by the FJR's hard luggage I had to go that route with the FZ. It's nice the aftermarket world made a set up for the FZ that makes it look like it came from the factory with hard bags. Can't wait for spring to come.

Where did you get the peg mounts that connect on the sliders?  I'd luv to have those on my Ninja.

Believe it or not the brackets hanging down from the frame slider is a frame slider bracket from an 08 ZG14 with footpegs attached to them. I was experimenting with them. They didn't work out for me. The position of them just wasn't right. Your welcome to try them. Send me a PM with you mailing address and I'll ship them out to ya.

Could ya send a pic of the brackets first?

[VTFJR13]

Yeah I'll try and take a couple today.

V35 sidecases are NOT large enough to carry a full-face helmet.

My L Neotech fit in the one I tried...  

[VTFJR13]

Here you go.

I still wonder if I should have gone for a fully faired Gen2 FZ1 with the triple bag set up instead of the Sprint. I really did like that bike...rose like a pussy cat if you took it easy, but went as fast as you wanted. Maybe was a little to easy to ride fast, but I really liked it.

[Silverbird]

Like a mini FJR.  I'm jealous.

[Jay S.]

Very nice! I just ordered the V35s for my FZ6R...waiting anxiously.
