61 (2011) sv650 hugger/luggage

Hi All

Just bought a new sv650 and struggling to find any manufacturer who supply hard luggage racks/panniers

would also like to know if anyone can advise if the frame has changed as I bought an 05 hugger but it wouldnt fit.... and I cant locate one anywhere - the latest seem to be 05-09/10

Frustrating but hope you can help

There is no difference between 09 and 10 other than panel colours.

Huggers can be a bit of a swine to wrangle into place, just check you haven't got a 03 one?

I remember having to bend and twist my hugger to get it into position.

Kappa are the Spanish division of Givi, good stuff.

Sw-motech are also worth a look.

I recently bought a Red Fox hugger for my '09 model ('10 Plate) which was shown on their site as just being for >03 models. I had heard rumours of slight differences to later swing arms so had a minor panic before it arrived but it fitted no problem other than some minor wiggling so I guess the rumour is no more than that. Most if not all of the other ones I saw just either said post '03 or '03 - '08.

Looks from SIII's description like he may have the same one! I have to say that, so far, I'm very happy with it. Better price than most others (for a bit of plastic), decent quality and good fit and it was also delivered really quickly. I got a fender entender from them too which is also decent for the price.

Can't help you with the luggage/racks though.

Hey Kr1s. What hugger did you buy? I bought a Pyramid one thinking it would fit but apparently there's different models for the bikes with a silver swing arm. Ended up ebaying that one and buying another one from Pyramid specifically for the 61 reg
