I also cannot like really confirm u tat the vibrations r totally gone....

 

But wat i can say is the vibrations after u install the COOCASE is much more lesser than the other brands....

 

Try check it out at 219..... N see how is it.....

 

no theoretical or practical explanation that i can think of for installing box reduce vibration.

 

Since the box comes with alarm and u have to tap to battery so most probably having grounding effect which might reduce the vibration.

maybe more stable during normal travelling but during high speed,box is a no no..

Ya its true...

 

But much more better than the other brands tat i can say....

 

I got try riding to speed up to 140 n still ok not bad....

 

But my wife pillion behind say its not so vibrate like the old one....

 

So worth buying then....

Those using a large side pannier...does ur bike vibrate when u freehand?

 

How to tackle that probs...

Tighten the steering cone?

using heavy balancer

others?

 

 

Or

 

 

Thats what we will get using large pannier and have to get used to it...Issit?

Frm experience on my ex rides(Phantom & Steed), had mounted wingrack & pair of E41s, the front steering will feel light & may tank slap if free hand on high speed.

Yet to try on my S4 as not yet mount them on.

Suppose can fix on a center mount steering damper and/or heavier balances will help?

I believe because yrs is mounted via the points below the sub rear frame, hence bring the box lower & nearer to the bike, therefore reducing the vibration & drag by the wind force.

 

Spec 3's mounting tend to be high as not much ppl uses the same mounting like on Spec 1 & 2.

 

Random check on the tightness on the torque of the screws & box locking mechanisms also plays a part as it may tend to loose over time due to vibrations & shocks.

Ok, suggest you get a pair of heavy balancers, & maybe invest in a good centre mount steering damper?

Do maintain sufficient air pressure especially for the rear. It'll be better if you can find a good combination pressure rate for the front & rear which will help on the road.

i.e. Not too much for front so can hv a gd grip yet wont be hampering the steer, sufficient for rear, so can accomodate the weight increase but also maintaining grip when wet.

 

Also, dont forget to tune yr rear suspension to hard to accomodate the weight increase behind. It'll help when going over humps & bumps.

if got spare mula, get a pair of E21s, 2nd hand oso can, cos sometimes you may not need such a big box bt still need space...

 

& my 3 boxes are still collecting dust @ hm with my mom nagging me to clear them...

Hey thanks for the advice...for a start maybe i change to heavier balancer...but like i say im getting used to it nowadays...not only me...my bike too... ...surprisingly though....

 

im actually having a pair of e460...but i usually have it one for my rear top....only when in need then i pair it up right and left....

You're welcome.

 

am slowly setting up mine too, hv most of the things i need, now only wait for $$ to fall frm sky & a gd trusted mech to help me mount.

 

post a pic of yr bike with the set ups?

[khaitronic]

My setup

[Kevs]

khaitronic: sweet.

 

add on fog/spot lights, strobe lights, bigger windshield, aftermarket horns, & maybe aftermarket exhaust & u're ready for touring!

 

jus asking, u r using wing rack right?

where did you did yr mounting?

any lowering of exhaust?

[khaitronic]

Ahah...

 

 

Yeah wingrack...the mounting and lowering(yeap!) of exhaust...did it at sengkwang...

Rack got by a fellow forumer here recently....

 

Anyway im looking for e36...any idea where to get it? how much it cost? could not find it anymore....

Ok, can try 219, not sure if they have any left. Otherwise gota go Mah, their main shwrm there & ask Elyn, the lady in-charge of givi, if they have in stock, or, LAB?

nt sure abt the costs thou... to what i last know, its OOP... maybe can back order with Elyn...

Last resort, hunt ard the shops & also pray that someone in the forum sells a pair...

 

another qn, hw much for the damage @ SK?

[khaitronic]

Yeap thats the one.....this box is smaller and will match my e45...if it cost a bomb then guess i forget bout it...yet to ask those shop mention...but base on display....dont have it...

 

Lowering of pipe...$60....

rack all done by previous owner...not sure but heard its cost ard $200 to do the rack...

wow... hmm...

but then, thats for quality eh?

oya, gota really hunt ard for this pair, damn rare.

, maybe can add a auxiliary stop light, like those on X9 rear box for yr old E45, for better safety?

Think some spare parts for yr E45 can order thru Elyn, but may have to wait for a long time before the shipment arrives, or can try twistedthrottle.com..

There's a pillion rest cum rack carrier with strap for this model. Had it on my old E45, but was vandalised that my dad cant be bothered, I threw away when I accquired a 2nd hand V46...

oh, sales exec for givi @ mah.

tel: 6295 6393

hp: 9846 7976

email: [email protected]

 

but best is you go down & ask for a view on the parts manual if you are looking for replacements.
