Givi stuff isn't cheap - think the box and rack were £250-£275 ish

You could fit side boxes on but you'd need the extra pieces of the rack that fit to the side and you'd need to move the indicators - another kit for that

Then add on the cost of the side boxes........probably £150+ each

By the time you add that lot up - you could of bought a car

Box and rack could be yours for £100. Box is scuffed (she had a couple of low speed offs)

Is it a seperate rack and box??

If it's the former and MikeC 'aint interested, I would be.

The 'spare' one is the hang off the back givi.

I'm keeping the suzuki, rear seat one.

Mike,

Did you used to have a Suzuki Gizzer?

No George, sorry!

Jools - may well be interested but would like to buy the bike first, so will let u know! If anyone wants it the meantime, then go for it!

Does anyone have a pic of this Suzuki box that takes the place of the pillion seat?

check out this guys e-bay shop:

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/CMS-Motorcy...QQftidZ2QQtZkm

He's a motorcycle dealer in Exeter but knocks out top quality new givi stuff dead cheap through his eBay store.

I got a brand new huge 45 litre top box ad rack for £165 - what a bargain. Its dead easy fit - only took me a couple of hours and I'm spanner phobic. It fits behind the pillion seat and my missus says she prefers having it there as she can lean on it a bit - they even do a cushion thing to stick on it so your pillion is dead comfy.

If u don't see what u want in his shop - drop him a line - I've seen full givi luggage sets on there too - with panniers included - but he doesn't have them listed for all models all the time.

And i spent 2 weeks trying to get a simple answer out of him and so bought it elsewhere.

Question "Can you sell a kit for the FJR1300? Does it require the standard luggage rack as mine is missing?"

It was also £50 cheaper from the shop i bought it. No real difference in the Kappa and Givi models.

maybe he didn't like u

i couldn't have been more impressed with the service.

Just a question for those with Givi topboxes;

Are they really waterproof?

I say really, because I know in the motorcycling world, "waterproof" often seems to mean, "if you're out for a bimble 10 miles from home and it starts to lightly rain, it'll remain waterproof for long enough for you to get home, but for longer periods of time, or in heavy downpours, it'll get soaked."

Basically, I'm looking to get a top box for work. I'll be riding for several hours at a time, sometimes in very heavy rain. Would I be able to carry a laptop and shirts in one of these, without them drowning?
