hey guys, getting an 07 Anniversary at the end of the week and I need bags. any insight as to if I should get the OEM bags or Givi V35's? Going Givi would end up being about $100 more, but if it'd be worth it, I'd do it. Thanks!
I had no problems with the OE bags. Never noticed any leakage. Held up well in a tip over. Easily swallowed my Arai (L) but was a tight fit on my AGV (XL). I think the OE bags are made by GIVI (?). The OE bags might look a little better because their color matched. I think the outer panel on V35's is paintable if you go that route. One member had white OE bags on their 25th Ann which actually looked really good IMO.
My wife's 2008 VFR has OEM bags and we have been gone for 8 days with all of her gear for those days. Plenty of room. I will add that she also has a OEM top case. I also believe these cases are made by GIVI as they do have GIVE lock sets.
