Givi setup fitted
Well after 4 attempts i finally got a set of rails that fit the bike , so out yesterday doing some errands and took some photo's.
And yes i did say in another post "why would you want a peaked lid on summat thats already noisy/buffeting" but i bought one and its the quietest lid i have and i have had Shuberths !

that actually looks better than I would have thought. does the top plate bolt straight onto the standard tail of the bike or do you need a separate adaptor kit besides the Givi plate? I still have a Givi top box lying around and fitting a Givi top plate would be a whole lot cheaper than buying a Yamaha OEM top box (+/- 450�) or an aftermarket top box with fitting plate (also a couple of hundred �).

Yes, has an adapter plate which i tried to buy on its own but Givi only sell the full kit
. Its a neat install and positions the box a bit further back so i don't kick the crap out of it getting on and off (as i am with the panniers) up and down the motorway yesterday with a bit of a stiff breeze and no problems. I have not upped the preload yet but had some weight in the box and it does not seem to make much difference so far.

I have the same set up on my Ten. I bought the Givi plate to take a givi maxia top box i already had and the plate cost me 60 quid, then i added the pannier fitting kit.
The pannier fitting kit was 135 quid and the V35 panniers (the only ones that can be fitted to the Ten IIRC) were 235 quid so i was very pleased to save so much money over buying genuine yamaha panniers, and of course i can always take my givi boxes with me when i change bikes. I thoroughly recommend the givi stuff |
