GIVI Bags Installation

[Dudley]

Well, I took a deep breath and plunged into it. And....it all fits and works. Only one small scratch near the signal light (new position). I can truthfully say that it wasn't that hard, just took about 4 hours of actual hands on time. I just added all the little pieces to the brackets before I started. Then all I had to do was move the signal lights and bolt it all together.:2thumbs: Now does anyone have an easy fix to adjust the mono shock to adjust for the extra weight???:sour:

Only way to adjust the rear shock is by doing it just like the owners manual tells you. Chock the front wheels, jack up the rear, and use a ratchet with an extension to adjust the shock. Spray some lube on the shock before you adjust it, it turns a whole lot easier with the lube.

And, make sure the 3/8" extension is not the "wobble" type or you will bugger up the square hole as I did. :shocked:

You too? Mine started to round out the adjusting hole but I managed to get the rear shock adjusted where I wanted (all the way up) it before the hole became unusable. That wobble extension was the only one I had long enough to reach.

How long does the extension need to be, 6" 8"" 10"?

I'm not sure the Givi would work with the 2 brothers dual setup. You'll probably want to get a good look at a Spyder that has the Givi bags on them.

I will take some pics tomorrow. Will take some close-ups of what I wish I could have seen on installed GIVI bags. Right side bags sits about 1" or so above tha muffler. Industries 7 has a very strong bracket set. Very strong, well constructed, good welds and paint. You will see this, hopefully tomorrow night.
