Comparing the V46 GIVI to the Corbin trunk on my Spyder...

[SpyderGirl]

V46 with mounting rack, backrest pad, light kit, and rail kit about $650 with tax (46L)

Compared to this - Corbin trunk - about $1,050 with tax (28.5L)

What do you think????

Discuss.

I say go with the Givi -- but go red IMO to keep the red "flowing" along the top of the bike.

I would go with the Corbin. Sleeker looking for sure. Maybe go with a 2-tone paint on it---- red/silver - which I think is an extra $100.

Givi is cheaper, more room, easily detacheable.

We have a winner.:firstplace:

Agree -- after looking at them as you have posted the GIVI is definitely the choice. Color match it if you can

I have and like the Givi, however their brake light kit does not work

I will consider the red for the GIVI trunk. It seems to be pretty unanimous that the GIVI trunk is a winner on my Spyder over the Corbin option. I was so worried I would hate it and that it would really take away from the look, but compared side-by-side I see little difference that would sway me away from saving some money and having more space. I will also consider not purchasing the brake light kit if you say it doesn't work.

Much thanks to tatt2r for the photoshop job. Genius. :2thumbs:

Maybe you can change the trunk to red in the photo??

Hmm.... the red looks nice too.... decisions, decisions........

 

[DynamoBT]

Red Givi looks sensational!!! I'd go with that if you can. Looks sharp!!!

 

[SpyderJo]

I went with the Givi, and it looks super cool!

Jo:clap:

YAHOO! I'm no longer a "junior member"!:yes::yes::yes:

For the money and ease of use and space Givi all the way, for looks then Corbin for sure.

 

[SpyderGirl]

Well then I think I'll be saving up my nickles and getting the GIVI then. I do like that it's easily detachable too.

If you leave the trunk on all the time, the connection may not be affected. If you remove often like I do, the connection just does not seem to make contact necessary to work. Plus, the actual light is only the red dotted area, not the whole red area in the back.

I vote red!

Hey smokster, my V46 brake light setup has continued to work fine, although like you say it is fairly limited in its scope (just the red dotted lights). I leave it on most of the time, but often remove it when washing the Spyder. I always make sure the connection is dried off before putting the box back in place. Therefore, for the most part, the connection is not exposed to the elements. This may be the difference in the functionality of my box as opposed to yours.
