Givi V35 for 2005 VFR

2005 VFR and load capabilities?
Givi V35 Good or bad

 

I bought a Givi trunk and had it color match painted. It locks on securely and is easy to remove. In fact, it becomes my suitcase when I tour since my beattle bags are bolted on. It has a tight seal and things stay dry inside. I have no problems with mine.

 

thanks for the quick response
Now how much load can a 2005 abs VFR handle.?.?.?.?. 2up(300 lbs total) plus GEAR!!! (camping and such..)
I plan on getting GIVI V35 plus GIVI 52litre supertrunk and of course a tank bag.
Any potential frame or mounting issues when we are FULLY loaded..
Also will the clutch be able to handle the weight on long mountains?
Thanks for your time
:hat:

PS my old Shadow was pretty much bottomed out when where loaded..

 

It might be worth upgrading the suspension, with that kind of load the right suspension would help a lot.

 

Just Got My V35

JUST GOT ME BAGS
i LOVE EM
SEXY HOT TO BOOT
CHECK ME PICS:lever:

 

I am getting ready to purchase some v35 bags. Do you like still like them. Any problems? Will a full face helmet fit inside? Thanks

 

If I remember correctly load capaicity if right around 700 lbs., can any one confirm?

 

still love my bags
done 15000km with them.
overstuffed them a few too many times and they are not as water tight as I would like them to be
Fullface helmets shouldnt be to much of an issue till you get onto xl sizes then it could become a bit stressful on the bags
as for weight...
all seems good no issues yet

 

Thanks nevik001
I think I will be ordering them this next week.

 

My new bags will be here on Friday- Thanks Twisted Throttle. I can't wait to mount them up.

 

The bags showed up a day early- Thanks Twisted Throttle. I mounted them up last night. I did have to cut down the top spacers to work with my Leo Vince Carbon can mounts. Unfortunatly my helmet does not fit. The wife's will so I guess I will be shopping for a new helmet. I have a HJC CL-SP XXl that I wear in the winter so I can wear a really thick Balaclava with- hopefully I can fit a large Shoei RF1000 or something like that. I will ride this weekend to see if there are any adverse affects but so far so good.

 

givi 35 or honda line saddle bags

any reason you went with the givi V35 instead of the honda line bags
same capacity, same similar shape, it looks like twisted throttle has both for about the same price.

both me and my wife have 'small' heads,
so our helmets would fit both

which mounting frames did you use?
Givi PLX sidecarriers or
SW-MOTECH Contour sidecarriers
(Motech claims theirs are quick release,
which sounds like a nice feature)

 

first post - just bought a 2002 VFR and I need bags!

so what is the big difference between the honda bags and the givi v35?

 

I bought a new 2007 VFR anniversary edition last week. I ordered the v35 bags for it. I got them in yesterday and I love them so far. Going on a trip from Seattle to San Francisco next month. So I will post a full review then.

 

Givi V35 topcase for 2007 VFR

a year with
Givi V35 side bags,
Givi PLX sidecarriers,

Givi V46 topcase,
Honda line topcase rack
Givi universal topcase mounting plate

this set up has been rock solid and versatile
i've been very very pleased
i do alot of commuting rain/shine
all have been water tight and
carried 20lbs+ each

using Givi V35 bags/carriers
because i have Remus pipes,
this provides more room for the pipes
I prefer the plx side carries use
of the muffler mounting vs
the honda line mounting to the
rear handles & over the cowling

using honda line rear rack
for the givi topcase because it
appears to be the sturdiest
and i didn't like the givi mounting
set up, not as streamlined.
the mounting holes in the hondaline rack
match exaclty with the holes in the
universal plate, so i was able to use the
hondaline rack's mounting hardware.

i went through twisted throttle,
they were extremly friendly/helpful
i highly recommend their services

the hondaline rack was through the dealer
