Hi, all! I have a 2001 VFR with Corbin Beetle Bags. I am interested in purchasing a top box for my ride. I was looking at the Givi FZ257 top rack. Twistedthrottle.com tells me that the FZ257 is not compatible (not enough clearance) with the Beetle Bags. Anybody have a picture looking from above so that I can see how wide the FZ257 rack is? Any suggestions on what other hardware will work with my bags? I like my Beetle Bags and I am not interested in getting rid of them. Thanks for your time.
I have a Givi E370 top case along with Givi side bags, on the Winrack mounts... Your issue will be whether the 076-FZ257 mono rack hardware can go on your bike with the Beetle bags... You might be better off with something like: JOE ROCKET MANTA MOTORCYCLE BIKE RED TRIM TAIL BAG on eBay.ca (item 110510982548 end time 22-Apr-10 14:19:18 EDT) Or maybe an Axio: Axio Hardpack Tail Bag :: New Enough
Nice options. I was looking for something with a little more capacity as well as something to put my helmet in when I'm away from the the bike. Thanks for the input.
