    Tank Bag Recommendations

    Mine is a rapid transit. It has a clear lens for a GPS and for a map. Also a built in kamelback with a long straw. I recommend it. Had mine for 5 yrs and it's still going strong.

    tire dilema

    My pressures are at 32 f/r. I ride streets mostly straight with some moderate curves. No coal dust or other in this area. I generally run the luggage pretty much empty. Just some rain gear.

    tire dilema

    I started out with the stock Dunlops. After a couple thousand miles they began to feel squirrely, like I wasn't connected to the road. I finally got to the point that I decided to make a change. Without doing much research the guys at the bike shop suggested the Pirelli Angels, so I bought them...

    measuring chain slack the proper way?

    I don't know what year FZ you have but mine is a 2007. I do it the way my manual says: I push it down as far as I can then push it up as far as I can and the slack between those 2 points should be about 1.5" or ~4cm. I do that with the bike on the center stand and then spin the back wheel to try...

    Givi/motech install

    Just finished installing the Givi V46 trunk and V35 saddlebags. Wow. What a project. I used the SW Motech mounts at the recommendation of the guys at twisted throttle. They look nice and really hug the bike but...The instructions are one picture (that is tough to understand)! I went to their...

    Givi trunk and motech rack help!

    I just purchased the Givi V46 and V35 bags and the motech mounting hardware. Has anyone done it?How was the cutting part? Any photos? I am generally good at putting stuff together but this one has me a bit intimidated. Any help appreciated.

    GIVI Thunder blue

    I am purchasing a Givi V46 trunk for my bike. I am considering matching the bike color. Twisted throttle lists the Givi C46B602 "thunder blue". Will this match the color of my 2007 blue fz6 (in the profile photo)? Also has anyone found a better buy than twisted throttle?

    Givi setup

    Yoshiki- Do you have a photo of your bike with the e52? I'm concerned that big of a trunk may seem overpowering. It would be nice to see it on the bike.

    Right on Goker. Thank you so much for all your work on the step by step. I'm sure it will be most helpful as I put mine together as I am getting the same set up as you. THANKS!

    Givi setup

    I am looking to purchase a Givi top case and maybe side cases. I have looked at the Givi site and twisted throttle and am pretty confused. I want the smallest top case that will fit 2 full face Shoei helmets and it appears that the V46 is the ticket. Does it actually fit 2 full face? Can anyone...

    buffeting

    So far I added the Yamaha full cowling (from Yamaha Canada). I added a Puig racing windscreen. The helmet noise is deafening (wind noise). So loud I can't hear the bike at 50mph. I have tried the stock windscreen and no wind screen at all. It's just ...ok...I'm considering the Cee Bailey taller...

    About windscreens

    Thanks for the input. Also 2 questions. I see on your mods list that you removed all the stickers. What did you use. I haven't attempted it yet as I had a devil of a time with the gas tank sticker on my v-star but I just got some swing arm decals and the stickers need to go. Also how did you set...
