I mainly use my FZ6 for commuting and one of the things that bothered me the most was inability to carry stuff around with it. Up until now, I was using the bungee cord the backpack on the back seat method which was getting old. So, I decided to treat myself to full set of GIVI cases for my birthday. :Flash:
Since you cannot have GIVI cases without the safety features of reflective lenses and lights, I decided to add stop and turn signal lights along with reflective lens modifications. And since I was going all out, I thought nice matching keys would also be nice so I don’t have to carry too many keys around. :Flash:
Result:
Bike with a lot of storage and nice lights. :cheer:

All of the following pictures were taken when sun was directly shining on the back of the bike which is as worst of a condition as you would have for lights.

View with flashers on (which also shows how visible they are with breaks for the side cases):

Comparison of reflective lens modification on the top case to none on the side cases:

Comparison of reflective lens modification on the top case, right side case to none on the left side case:

I thought, I would also share my install experience with everybody so I documented the entire process. Instead of trying to post the entire process into posts here, I created couple of .PDF files anybody can download, print and use should you want to do so.
