Side Boxes / Side Pods for TA200

[sky_vinz]

KeV1143: Real deal! But e bracket? U've any idea where I can get tat? If yes, I'm gonna grab tat deal! =P

 

Oops, sorrie. Forgot to mention tat changing e color of e speedo bulb will not cause any LTA implications, at least tis is wat I feel. Juz like other vehicles, they can change their speedo colors too. Dun tink's it's considered a decorative lighting, so it shld b okie. For e headlight, I didnt go into it.. Using stock headlight. =)

Btw I've seen a TA200 wif a Givi WingRack in Amk already. Looks okie to me. =)

any1 knows if i install a pair of RJAYS side bag, do i have to relocate my stock rear signal lights??

Vin: Sori 4 late replies. Bracket(whole fitting kit: bolts, nuts & washers) can get & fix up @ 219(look for Ah Hua{Fat fat 1}), shld cost u another $80(approx. cost. cant rmber how much liao )

Can grab è package(If still available) 1st, save up abit more b4 go fixing it up.

 

P.S. currently there's alot of TAs wif wingrack!

 

, thnx for è infos on è lights.

but dn u think its ona pull down your horse power a lot? ....i think the weight matters....just take note that it is firm n not saggy or drop down.....cant imagine if u pillion......serious considerations bro.

[sky_vinz]

KeV1143: Haha! No probs. I tried calling a workshop at Amk Autopoint which does customising of brackets. He quoted me $150 for e bracket n fixing of e wingrack. Considered n it seemed a little too high to me, thus I did not order tat setup yet.

 

G_S_J: Haha, yea u're right. Tat's wat I'm worried abt. Of coz having a larger box will allow u to carry stuff wif ease, but e power? I dun wan a drag.. Anyone wif feedback on E36 as sideboxes on their TA200?

i tried the E33 as sideboxes and the result is a

 

perhaps it's my skill of installing (or rather lack of it) the sideboxes were shaky and i felt very insecure riding with them. i took them out after 1 day.

 

i can't really imagine the E36.

[sky_vinz]

fleaz: Hmm.. Thks for e feedback. No matter which size, I tink I'll get my wingrack soon.. Shld b able to help. Meanwhile shall juz b contented wif my E21. =) Cheers! =)

Basically no, but if u feel that yr lights would be obstructed or leaned on, pay a little more for workmanship + 'L' bracket & extending wires, jus go to 219 for a clean job of relocating yr signals(RMBER TO ASK è MECH. TO RELOCATE IT NICELY!) Else they'll leave è wires dangling.

Vin, for get abt customizing.

Wat u'll nid to get it fix onto yr bike:

A couple of washers(staggered type)

x2 extended sleeves

x4 allen key type head bolt(longer than OEM type)

x2 sets of hexagon bolt, nut & washer

x2 extender plate

 

All from 219. Material is cast iron(If im not wrong). Quite solid I'll say, more then enuff required.

Price is abt $80+/-(as posted before). All incluv. of installing.

fleaz, è base u had to lock yr boxes on, was it plastic type or cast iron type?

there's 2 version as far as i noe.

Cos cast iron type can tahan more than plastic type.

If there isnt a 3 point securing of è base, trembling & vibrating is inevitable.

Hence I switch to wingrack for more security after months of 'Bonucing' effects of my 2 boxes.

KeV1143: I've decided to giv tat sale a miss. As wat u've said, I'm still loving my Phan wif juz sideboxes (w/o rearbox), thus perhaps may upgrade to juz E36s wif wing rack. E topbox can wait till more budget comes in. N right now, I'm juz waiting for new budget to come in for e E36s wif wing rack, which 219 quotes me $600+. Sigh..

*Still undecisive if e E36s will cause big diff in power, n parking agility.*

[654321]

a qn here, i find givi e21 too wide, is there any other side box that are less wide?

[sky_vinz]

654321: There's one more pair of sideboxes which are smaller den E21s. E pair I saw has a glossy surface n wif stoplight. U may wan to enquire from LAB. (",)

Hi,

 

I think i saw one pair of box smaller than E21, It's glossy givi size box... Pretty nice.. Just need some space to put my windbreaker and some other stuff.....

 

Any ideas where's the GIVI shop located? Is it somewhere near to Ah Boy shop? I remember i saw it once before, but can't really remember where is it

 

Any Ideas guys?

Jeffrey

I think i saw something like that... Any Ideas where to get it? The wideness of the box is just like the width of the signal light, maybe slightly bigger a bit

[lunloon]

that one is the plastic type, may leak, buang will definitely crush.

Definately got problem if they are bigger than the width of your bike...

 

But one thing is, it stop me from squeezing through traffic more often and make me ride safer...

 

This is my setup.... and they are a b*t*h to squeeze through traffic....
