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....

Acutally still can squeeze through traffic, but just need slightly more room than my bandit 400 with three givi box.

 

I am lucky that my way to work is TPE toward SLE, so very little traffic compared to other direction, so it is constant cruise on the express way. And when i go home, same thing also, opposite direction jam more than my side...

 

The width is about slightly less than 3/4 of a car, but i will move a side if got bike behind me and traffic is cramp...

I've found a way to extra lock up the side boxes to prevent those BASXXXXS from damaging and stealing! This lock cost only

 

Pls see attached...

 

 

There's one con regarding this method... will attract those BASXXXXS to think that there's more important things inside...

Will Givi e21 have rain water seep in when there is super heavy rain? Think of changing my box to that. My boxes have water seeping in when rain is too heavy, then the rain coat put inside also wet.

Yes.....all boxes will have water sip in as long as is pouring....

 

Just wondering.... ...Do you still ride if it is pouring?

 

Advice: we only have 2 wheels, and only 1 live. Don't risk it, it is not worth it. I just saw a Super 4 have a very bad accident on Thursday (6/4) on AYE. Fault of the driver...Jam emergency brake for no reason...then the bike bang into the back of the car so hard that the riders was thrown onto the road curb.......

 

Now, the rain gives you another reason why you shouldn't ride if it pours....count yourself fortunate......

Eh, correct mi if im wrong ppl, strap those straps back onto yr bags. Act as a secure harness for è bags oso. Recommend u get a pair of saddlebag bracket(can get it frm madman, saddlebag bracket pic), to prevent è bag saggin onto yr exhaust when over loaded which would cause an irreversible regret.

 

Hope this helps.
