August 10, 200915 yr 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.
August 10, 200915 yr Author Yep, Givi is a good starting place. You could also try renntec. yea hi fella triedthat 4 givi but as is old does not list and r unwilling to do anything other than sell off of the shelf.Typical friendly computer staff, cheers mate!

August 11, 200915 yr 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
August 11, 200915 yr ps what else are weekends for other than bikes? Shooting Cooking Sex Drinking Partying Hiking Sleeping Gaming The list is endless!! Then again, I ride every day Hein Gericke may be able to steer you toward a company who makes stuff.
