richieg Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'm looking at getting panniers for my Silver 03 VTEC.Honda no longer make them in the 2003 Silver and second hand examples onebay rarely come with all the mounting hardware (bracket behind numberplate is normally missing).The GIVI V35 panniers look nice (better than OEM IMO) and the GiviPLXR-166 have the advantage of most of the hardware being removable whenthe panniers are not being used.So, does anyone know if the Givi PLXR166 will fit with the OEM rear carrier in place?Thanks!

Member Contributer Africord Posted February 13, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted February 13, 2013 Any reason not to go Givi all the way? I'm not looking at the OEM top box even though I have the OEM panniers due to the availability of GIVI/Sw-Motech and Krauser solutions that are much cheaper. Givi makes the Honda VFR800 accessory bags and Krauser makes BMW's luggage. I know that the GIVI top carrier is NOT compatible with the OEM accessory panniers. (GIVI says so on their site.) But I don't know about the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
