bobbyn 47 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 My lovely wife wants to join me on a 9 day road trip for the first time since before kids (the oldest is 18). I have a 2014 standard VFR800 and I need to outfit it with saddlebags, a trunk, and a back rest but I cannot locate any pics. I'd rather buy used but... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

bobbyn 47 Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Great pics guys. From the Honda web site it looks like the Trunk and trunk platform are separate purchases, correct? Any leads on used Honda luggage for the 2014 VFR800 would be greatly appreciated. TIA Link to post Share on other sites

Greytec 17 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 You can search for 1200F panniers as well. The right pannier needs a little modification to fit the 800. There is a lump on the heat protection shield that hits the exhaust. Link to post Share on other sites

14thumper 17 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Anyone know if a Givi top case will fit with OEM side cases? If so, which Givi case and brackets are ideal? Link to post Share on other sites
Member Contributer fink 246 Posted March 11, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted March 11, 2017 I would check on the givi website as they allow you to down load the installation instructions. Link to post Share on other sites

CDNBCN 10 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hey folks, I'm considering purchasing a set of OEM saddlebags as well, so this question is for you guys with them... I'm curious to know how waterproof they are? Or do you need to purchase the inner liners for that? Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers The liner bags are a great addition because you can just pull out all your luggage at the end of the day and head to your hotel room. It also keeps things organized inside the bags so things are bouncing around. Link to post Share on other sites

Member Contributer fink 246 Posted January 8, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 8, 2018 If you get inner bags then don’t get the Honda ones as you lose a fair bit of space. I prefer modular packing and take panniers in when on tour as they are only used for transit. Link to post Share on other sites

But a quick googling can't confirm that it's compatible with the Givi plate. Have you done this yourself? Any difficulties or disadvantages? Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
Member Contributer fink 246 Posted January 9, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted January 9, 2018 Think Katie has mated a givi plate to an oe rack Link to post Share on other sites

No problems at all I remember the Givi rack had problems with the 6th gen and they add a plate to reinforce it, I don't know the current version, I choose the OEM for the better look, and I can assure you it can carry a full top box with a 40l givi soft bag without issues Link to post Share on other sites
