Givi bags on a Lightning S

[thejackal]

So, my wife is jealous of my hard bags, and finally got me to make her a rack for her XB. Givi does not make a rack for the XBs, and the only off the shelf option is from Hepco Becker. The rack is a little pricey, and the bags are expensive as hell.

Instead, she has Givi E21 bags ($250?) and rack loops from Twisted Throttle ($150). We cut an angle bracket that fits between her passenger peg mounts and frame, removed her passenger pegs, and made a dropped bracket between her turn signals.

Only one is fabbed up now, but you can see how it goes together, if you are thinking of something similar.

Hmm might look better if she was topless. I think bags look better slanted.

Nice. Got me thinking of bags for my XB. Hello Aaron. I saw the pics on Facebook. I'll bring my XB by next week for my set. Kidding.

Other than the cost of the loops from TT, there isn't too much to it. I was planning on doing it for my S, too, but it was just easier to buy a Tiger with bags on it already...
