Thanks for an informative video. We have the same bike, so seriously looking at the same including the back rest

You totally should! I didnt get the back rest because my gf has her own GS that she rides. Never had a passenger on mine. I'm almost wishing i got the bigger one, but this one is the perfect size. and the color matches perfectly.

Can you ride between cars when traffic with this top box or it is harder because your rear bike is wide now
@ErikWillie

ghb Lane splitting in my state is not legal, but I don’t think it’d make a difference. It’s still not as wide as the handlebars. Actually it’s probably not much wider than I am at shoulder width. I’ve ridden trails through the woods with it and never seemed to be a problem.

Hi im curious of givi boxes rattles in the long run, did you encounter any issues?
@ErikWillie
8 ай бұрын
I never had an issue with the GIVI box on this particular bike. On my Honda ST1300 I had to put some rubber bumpers underneath it to hold it a little bit tighter to the mounting plate to keep it from rattling. It was never a big enough issue to keep me from buying another one!

@ErikWillie
8 жыл бұрын
You know, that's a really good question! I came really close to getting the 56 but decided that the 47 was probably good for me. Of course they both look great, and the price difference was a factor. I'm a full-time student in graduate school so the few dollars difference a lot of times makes my decision LOL. It might not look big on the video but it holds a lot of stuff. Between that and my backseat bag I can make a pretty good Walmart run.
