Ttaskmaster Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 does it work i have had no replys ha ha! Coz it's been less than 24 hours and on a Sunday, no less..... Personally I don't know. Know nothing about your particular bike. But you can always enquire on the GIVI webshite and see what they offer that fits your bike. They cover most machines.

Gas up - Let's Go! Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 You could buy something that will fit the panniers you want, with a similar mounting for the bike, then find a friendly fabricator/blacksmith/engineer (normally someone in Yellow pages, or ask around and see if you can find someone willing to do it at work) and get them to re-work the fitting to fit your bike. I'd look to something like Ebay and get some racks that are in need of TLC. Once you have them sorted give then few coats of Plastikote (spelling could be off there!) and you'll never know they're not original. I've done the same to a couple of bikes in the past with new bikes, but normally because the likes ot Touratech, MetalMule etc haven't developed the product yet. Alternativly, buy a welder and have a go yourself. It doesn't take too long to get the hang of it - assuming you are a practicle kinda bloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
