Hi all.. I've got a full set of Givi Monokey luggage. I'd love to 'upgrade' to the GIVI Trekker Outback range. I'm told that the top box is the same fitting as my current top box, but the panniers are not. fine, I'll just sell my existing bracket when I sell my boxes right..? well, Nope...

Hi all As above basically! I'm trying to locate some pannier frames for my Africa Twin RD04 that will take Givi e21 panniers, I bought the panniers ages ago thinking that it would be easy to get some cheap frames, sadly not the case, so I have nothing to attach them to:( Anyone got some...

Getting ready for rebuilding my wheels and have been following recent posts re central wheels closely. I am going to have a go myself or use a local wheel builder but am having trouble deciding on which rims to go for I would value any opinions. I will need rims and spoke sets for both front...

Hi guys, has any one got any suggestions for handguards for the 650? I was looking at BarkBusters but they're pricey albeit very good. There's got to be a cheaper enclosed guard, ideally nice and wide to deflect the wind but with a reinforcement not just plastic. Will any other brands fit the...

i'm about to start my 91 Dominator project.. but it seems that getting the original plastic parts for the Dommie is quite impossible/pricey if i want to restore it to its original condition. is there any mods using other maker parts like yamaha,suzuki for the Dommie? if yes, i would like to try...

Hi, So I tried to fit my US-spec 1986 XL600R with the dual headlights, seat and large tank of the Paris Dakar Euro-spec XL600LM in time for a west American trip. It was a bigger job that I have the tools or time for, so I'm selling the parts I imported from a German PD04 XL600LM. Here is...
