getting ready for my trip home to spain. i'm led to believe that givi never made a full rack system for a vtr, so when I saw one on ebay I thought i'll have that. jesus christ it been hard work fitting it, it's still not perfect, but at least it's nice and strong. I've had to space the panniers out to fit past the hi level end cans. i'm happy with it tho, not sure the police will like the bar that goes across the numberplate hahahaha

Fooking ell Marty...now that is a wide load. Be careful when filtering across London with that :eek2 Wouldn't it be easier to just wear a rucksack or maybe you need a trailer :lol: I like the footpeg lowers. I've been looking for some that have a screw in attachment to fit Harris rearsets with no luck. I guess I will have to get someone to make some L Brackets.

Not today but yesterday. A day trip planned around the Scottish borders. Some very fine roads up there. Oooo, I thought. Perfect for the first trip out on the R6 after burglar alarm surgery. Rolled out of the kitchen, dusted off. Oil and tyres checked. Warmed up, gear on, ready to rock. Snick into 1st and....... dead. Yes, my furry bunnies, it will only run in neutral.

Blessing in disguise really. Took the Storm instead, had a fab ride but the rear tyre is now no longer. Fresh one going on the for OP Storm. 2400 miles from a BT016. About the going rate I guess.
