david095 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hi all, unfortunately I'm looking to put a topbox on my new Fazer and, apart from wondering if I'll be able to get my little legs over when I already keep kicking the pillion handles, I'm unsure which is the best option. I'm looking to potentially being able to add panniers for some touring activity so was edging towards Givi but their top box seems to sit soooooo high. Has anybody fitted any tob boxes/panniers to their Fazers or FZ8. Cheers guys David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Duncan Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 i pick up my FZ6 tomorrow, its got the givi rack and getting the top box on it. as for panniers, i have soft lugguge cos its so much cheaper being able to put them on several different bikes, only adjusting the straps!

david095 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hi Matthew, Thanks for that, it looks quite nice and tight on the FZ6, not sure how it'll sit on the FZ8 which seem to have a more pointed rear, it kinda suits the 6 having a bulked out rear with the exhaust, was thinking the Givi as you can get the detachable side pannier kit when not using (I only have the one bike so won't be switching between with soft kit) I keep looking to find an 8 in the flesh but not having much luck, none of the photos I've found online really show how it looks. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
