I've found this: Givi SR1110 Monokey Adaptor Plate - Honda VFR1200 X / XD Crosstourer https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/206965 But I can't find a VFR800F version. But I assume it'll fit OK, since the VFR1200 and VFR800 racks are both designed to fit the same top-box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a phone number for GiviUSA; I cannot fine one for GiviUK. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhenley17 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Also have the45L top case as well. It stays on the bike most of the time. Have had no problems with it either. Ok, that's what I was kind of wondering. I've ridden relatively short periods in heavy rain and get a few splashes in my top case. I don't know if that's normal or not. It's not enough for me to care most of the time, about like a squirt from a water bottle or something, but if I were going on a longer trip and didn't want my clothes to mildew, it might be something I'd have to consider. I was just wondering if the side cases were the same or maybe better.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm familiar with what you are saying as have that problem on my RT due to a weeping seal and its mildewed my internal bag and waterproofs for that bike.

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted January 10, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'd always put a plastic rubbage bag in the sidecase first (or rucksack for that matter) and then the inner bags and fold in/seal the plastic bag. Innerbags are great after a long dirty ride as you pull up at the hotel.... Yeah, Latvians have a sense of humor too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StubyDoo Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I bought some VFR1200 panniers and sprayed them. The topbox is a Vtec box on an SW MoTech rack. I made an adapter plate out of 4mm checker plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it doesn't touch it but it's not a stock exhaust. I think the panniers are the same as an 800f set just come in different colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got several of the Kriega dry bags, but was looking to upgrade to hard panniers. I’ve used my Kriega bags for many trips through lots of different weather and can say they are awesome! Never had one come lose, rip or leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought 1200 panniers as well and damaged the endcap of the exhaust when putting them on my 800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
