Loaded the bags up and rode down to Luxemburg today.

Solid as a rock :-)

And not a single weave, all the way up to 215KMH

Without panniersI get up to 235KMH (on GPS), drag and wind resistance the price to pay for creature comforts.....

Would anyone know the partnumbers for the OEM pannier bags from Honda?

Cheers guys!

I considered moving them forward as much as possible. Limiting factor is my seat lock/ latch. I now have just enugh clearance for the key.

Ideally I would use a set of 6th gen passenger pegs. They have the mounting point/lug high up.

But they are kinda pricy. And I would need to do the "Beck" mod for the seat latch.... I already have a small bicycle brake lever in the shed ;-)

So I will give the bags a test next weekend. Riding to Luxemburg and do Piesport.

Nice work Mr Lion!!

I should mention I have a pair of 6th gen passenger footrest mounts I neither want nor need... they are a little on the fugly side where the hardbag brackets hook up from the brackets rubbing and also the actual footpegs are rashed from slides but otherwise they are decent and I' d be willing to part with them at mate's rates... just let me know!!

Will you be painting the bags red??

I measured the width of Givi V41 s on a fifth gen. Approx. 42" (107 cm). My riding buddy describes the view from the back as "looking at a pregnant cow from the rear".

Cheers guys!

I was considering swapping mine (cases not balls) but indeed thought the better of it.

Here's a trick for limited access to the seat lock tumbler when running bags.

I went to my local locksmith and asked for a new key that I could cut down the back side to make it easier to get the key in with out taking off the luggage mounts.

He told me since the seat lock was much more shallow then the ignition tumbler he could cut it on a key with the same profile all the way back to the back or shank of the key.

Here's what he came up with.

Hope this helps.

Well, I picked up The Viking from the airport last week and he noted that the bracket to the right footrest was interfering with the back of his boot.
So I adressed that, as well as modifying the top bracket so that the right case is more level.
