Givi saddlebags

[grey.hound]

I have some Nelson rigg semi rigid bags. Will see how it goes.

Ordered a set from here:

He said he could get the kappa so I said do it. Scheduled for next Friday delivery.

Got mine yesterday, may try to install them this weekend. A quick question for those who are good with schematics. clearly the passenger peg needs to be removed. Any tips? And, if looking at page 4 of the pdf below, it appears there are two steps for removal right? First, the footpeg from the support/bracket, then the actual bracket from the bike. I looked and it has a a clip type think for the footpeg to the bracket so I'm not sure how to remove it. Mind you, I've just given it a glance but thought I'd ask here and save me some time and frustration. Thanks. I'll try to get a pic of what I'm talking about.

It's just a standard C-clip. You can pull or push it off laterally with a pair of needle-nose pliers.

Thanks. Got them installed, fairly simple. Typical, 3x longer to do the first side than the second. A competent person could do it in probably 10 minutes total. Pics, maybe. It really doesn't look any different than before, the Nelson Rigg bags pretty much cover the whole frame. The biggest difference is stability. It is clearly more solid than before.

hi there. Don't know where to put my question, so maybe U will know. I'm about to buy the central case with the adapt plate, but givi and kappa says the maximum load is 6kg. where just the case is 2kg. I wonder if it brake or fall of if I'll load more stuff than 4kg in the case.
Any experience?

10 lbs (or there abouts) is a lot of stuff with the way I pack (heavy stuff down low). Others will have a better more direct answer, but maybe 6kg is plenty for what you would be using it for anyhow.

I think I typically have more than that in my top box, as I carry my tools and other gear around when I'm working. However, I'm on the H&B Xplorer Case, and if I'm not wrong, the specifications allow me for up to 10kg maybe? I haven't had a problem lugging heavy stuff around in the bike though. Usually runs out of space before I'm able to squeeze what I need to carry into it.

And how many liters can U pack in side the top case?

 

[grey.hound]

I think they are 25. Expandable to maybe 30 liters; each side.
