Free shipping is part of their pricing which cuts about $30 off price. Nice people to deal with. Givi rack for Spyder (PLX770) has been in development and just became available. I will repeat that while it is quite a bit cheaper than the I7 rack, it does require the relocation/rewiring of turn signals. Some may not like the look of the signals on the rear fender and may want to pay the extra for the I7 rack which keeps them up near the tail light. For $170, I like the look and and my checkbook agrees. I was able to do the rewire without cutting any wires, but through disconnect of existing wires and making some extensions that are routed through sheathing that Givi provides. Since they leave that part to the owner, there are no instructions for how to do it and you have to improvise. I'm no McGiver, but got everything to work just fine. The racks and cases are usual Givi high quality. Never owned hard cases before, but the clever Givi Monokey system is ingenious.

Here is s closer look at turn signals with Givi brackets. They are black so they will go on silver, yellow or red. A quick coat of paint would make them match, but for now, I'm leaving them. If you look closely, you can see small silver spacers that fit into the fender indents so that the brackets don't rub on the fender. If you have good eyes, you might be able to see the black sheathing running up the brackets into the tail for the wiring. For anyone who wondered as we did, The V35 cases do hold our M and L HJC full face helmets. You wouldn't think that M and L would be much different on outside dimension, but the M slides right in, but you have to put the L in in a very precise way to get the case to close.

I have the more expensive thibault installed in june last year - and like the solution with their back-lights - it should be also easy for givi to produce a small "bridge" under the rack for the turn signal lights ..in austria they must have also reflektors (law)as you see

While I really like my Givi backs I'm glad I went a little extra and bought the I7 rack. I'm not a big fan of how Givi setup the turn signal relocation, I'm actually surprised they did it that way since so many of their racks relocate the turn signal similar to I7's.
Overall I only spent about $800 on the I7 rack and givi bags because I didn't go color matched so that I can move the bags back and forth between my Spyder and V-strom.

When I first opened the instructions and saw the turn signal setup, I got in touch with Givi and asked, what's the deal. Probably didn't want to get in a design dispute with I7 so tweaked their design. No question the I7 is a quicker install and would work better for the plug and play crowd. If they were closer in price, I'd probably gone with I7, but I was pushing my luck with the "just one more accessory" story already. When I said $1,000, she said how much??? When I said $747 and told her she could take more clothes, she said sounds like a good idea. After 38 years, you'd think I'd learn to ask the right question. I just think it's nice to have choices in style, price availability.

Too bad they didn't make a cap or something to cover the nuts (& wiring) that hold the turn signals on the new brackets.

Stayed tuned, I'm working on that. Gatorade cap worked great as an axle nut cover until BRP gave us the right ones. Experimenting with various caps now to cover the nut.

So are the turn signals wires cut and extended or does the stock wiring stretch that far?
