I'm thinking about some easy on -n- easy off hard shell bags. Anyone had any experience with a good set? Pics?

Givi v35 cases are the way to go wth either the side mounting racks from either givi or SW Motech. I chose the SW Motech option as the racks are quick release. ON and off in no more tha a couple of minutes max and when they're off you only see a couple of small fixing tabs eiether side - hardly noricable at all. Cases are great quality (35 litres each) and the side racks fit well. Many of the ZZR1400 riders use them i the UK without problem.

A couple of pics below, not great but the ones to hand.

Very nice, thank you GSIG.

I have got the side panniers too. Work very well, and they are waterproof. Very hassle-free. I had to modify brackets to clear my 4 - 1 exhaust as the angle is higher than stock, but it was easy.

I like those bags. Pricing seems about $500 a pair and then add about $200 for a set of mounts.

I'm looking for some on sale. Have to buy milk for my babies. LOL

GSIG, does a helmet fit in those Givi bags? I like the look of that set, but I want something that'll fit a helmet. I wear a small sized helmet btw.

Thanks
Dan

Givi says a full face helmet will not fit in the v35 side cases. I haven't tried it, come to think of it.

G"DAY "JDC", russty14 and all, in the forum header pics, there is keendog42: his bike has excellent hard covers, thats if you havent seen them yet!

PS; if keendog42 does'nt mind I would love to buy some myself, so if you/anyone knows that would be great!
