  3. Need to throw on a set of tires before a ~2k mile trip. Been running a Pilot Power 2ct front and Pilot Road 2 rear sets for a while, like them, buuuuuuuuuut, local dealer is offering a set of the Dunlop Sportmax Q2s for $250 installed. Anyone running these? Thoughts?

  4. Guess this is a good a place as any to post this. Just thought I'd share my experience with my recently purchased Givi side luggage & Give top case & the SW Motech racking system.

    I like the Givi luggage, but Givi's racking system for the XX is hideous (IMO) with the bags removed. SW Motech makes a VERY nice product that looks much more appealing with the bags removed. And, the bonus is that the rack removes in about 30 seconds (both sides) leaving nothing but a few small latch points behind. Pricing for the SW Motech racking is comparable the the Givi rack.

    Installation was straight forward, with minimal tools required. They come with signal relocation brackets, but since I bobbed my signals there is enough clearance for the luggage without any mods.

    The following are pics with no rack, rack, rack & luggage etc.

    Hi there! Thinking about going that route too as my Givi bracket keeps cracking for some reason, nothing to do with overloading or wheelies I'm sure...:-) Do the SW Motech brackets keep the bags more stable as well? Seems like the Givi brackets let them shimmy quite a bit and I imagine that may contribute to the stress cracks...

  5. And it broke again...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Now exploring either metal fabrication to make the crossover part of the bracket out of solid steel instead of the hollow tube that keeps cracking or if that wont work, going to bite the bullet and buy the sw motech bracket. As an added bonus, Givi part is backordered, no availability from anywhere for 3 + weeks. Still love the bags, just gotta get this little gremlin under control!

  6. I have a set of bridgestone020 on the bike that are worn out < 4000miles> rear tire not drag racing. I think the motor would just rip them up as they aren't that sticky. They never felt sure footed on this bike. I run a bird with hard bags i guess i run aggressive street pace, not race pace. Pilot roads or powers, I would like to get more then 4000 miles out of tires but i don't want them sliding in the corners. I generally don't late apex. Best guess welcome on what i should get.

    Currently on PR2 Rear, Power 2CT front, works great and get about 6k out of the rears with fairly aggressive riding...

  7. Greetings!

    On my second BB and second set of Givi N141/Y158 and E36 side bags. Love the damn things, but now have another crack in mounting bracket. Grrrrr. Anybody else have these issues, suggestions? Or do I just tell the welder to add some plates? I know this is NOT because of wheelies with loaded bags...right?

    :icon_whistle:

    Did the crack appear in the formed pipe that joins to two wing rack sides? Thats what happened to mine. I just ground off and inserted a 5/8" bolt inside the break and welded it up. Both sides have been done now. I think I overloaded the bags a bit too. LOL

    Yep! Once there on my 99 BB and then this one ('02) it was on the rear wingrack mount. Getting welded as we speak, also emailed givi to see if they had an updated hardware kit, they actually wrote back to say no they didnt, now trying to get a free replacement kit, wish me luck!
