Givi side case
 

OK guys, early days yet but I've been browsing around for side luggage for the XTX for some roadtrippin this summer.

I've spotted one of our members ( stefanpriftis) with a pair of Givi T411 (think thats their name) which looked pretty nice and useable. I was going to send him a PM but noticed that he hasnt posted once since joining in October. See links...

When I called my local Givi dealer I was told that soft sling over side luggage dont work with the XTX and that I will need to get some hardcases with the frames. I dont want the hard cases cos a) I think they look poo and b) they cost A LOT!!

Has anybody had experience with these, or can enlighten me with any relevant information?! Ta very much ;)

you really want me to express my opinion on luggage on this bike?

ask yourself this question: would you put a roof rack on a porsche? :119:


you wouldn't? then take the train mate, or use a car and keep the bike for raw hooliganism!!! :smile[2]:

Each to their own :003: I'm not keen on them either(messes with my mojo)which is why I'm after the sling over cases so they will be off the bike when I get to where I'm going, allowing me to be a hooligan in unchartered territories :laughing7:

If I ever own a porsche (which I wont) I'll slap on a roof rack, tie a goat on them and post some pics just for you :occasion17:

Fair point but as I've said that is just my opionion :p

Denny, do you have afermarket cans on your XT? If so, they run cool enough to use throwover panniers. I have some oxford ones. They are a ***** to fit securely, but they work OK. (Just try and avoid the header pipe connections to the cans, they run fackin' hot!)

Yep I've got a pair of CCC cans. Cheers Storm ;)

You're most welcome.
