Hi peeps

I'm brand new to motorcycling and have got myself a very nice new XJ6 Diversion F......questions questions! First, I'm interested in getting a top box and maybe pannier boxes for it, preferably detachable.

I have no experience at all. What do I need? Where should I look?

Any advise would be great thanks ;o)

welcome to my little bit of the forum ,

don't bother with a box , they look naff,

get yourself a small hike /ruck sack , you'l look cool er .

Welcome to Yamaha Club.

I have an XJ6 and am familiar with the luggage options, Givi, SW Motech, Yamaha and Rentech all make reasonable kit for this bike, as the bike is quite new the prices are higher, than say a bandit, but they will fall with time.

Here is a link to the stuff that Givi make:

My setup is here:

I am running Givi PLXR racks, a genuine Yamaha Monolock topbox rack (fits Givi, Kappa, Spada, Yam monolock topboxes) and Kappa sidecases (Givi V35 clones).

I do quite a bit of continental touring so need the right kit.

my experience might be useful -
