Member Contributer Kuehn Posted December 19, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted December 19, 2006 I am planning on doing some longer touring two up next year and the soft luggage I have just isn't enough. I am looking for some advice on what setup can be used for a 5th gen with Two Bros high mount pipe. Does anyone have a setup for hard luggage with a high mount on a 5th gen that could help me out? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon28 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 No experience there and I would guess you will not be able to use the high mount. I have motopak's GTS90's and they hold plenty of gear plus the three tier 35L tankbag....that is a lot of room. And IMHO the Givi's stick out like a wide butt.

Thanks in advance. I've had a high mount Micron mounted with Givi hard bags, with the older style mounting rack. I can email pics if you're interested.

Member Contributer pgreen94 Posted December 20, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted December 20, 2006 I have a Micron mid pipe with a D&D can and Givi E21's. There are pictures in my gallery, I really like the setup. If you have the oval TBR can I think that would work best. Let me know if you need any other pictures or information.

Member Contributer Kuehn Posted December 21, 2006 Author Member Contributer Share Posted December 21, 2006 Thanks guys. It looks like the tubular style rack with spacers will do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Thanks guys. It looks like the tubular style rack with spacers will do the trick. Did it work??!! I just ordered a PL257 tubular rack and a set of Givi E41s this morning...I've got a 5th gen with Two Bros high-mount C5 (oval) pipe...just want to know how much pain to expect... :blink: Did you have to have the FZ257 top rack also to install? Twisted Throttle web site says you do, but I've read posts that say you don't...? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
