[Discussion] Technical - Boxes & Storage Systems

[BoyBulance]

is the V35 - monokey side selling in singapore?

it looks guite nice and streamlined.

does it attach to the existing rack with brackets like the E21s?

here are the pics and specs

 

i've checked already.... It doesn't fit the normal monokey system on the E21 as it has a curved baseplate....U need to customise a stainless steel bracket 1st, before installing the V35's baseplate. I have already considered doing wat u wanted, and the above solution was given by the GIVI agent at Mah Motors (think her name's Elaine or Evelyn). I have also seen the V35 mounted on an XJR1300 using the customised stainless steel brackets (refer to happy125). Hope u find this information useful.

Yeah looking foward to see ur bike pic soon....

 

Here you go...

[s4vtec]

actually i'm very curious.

why aren't there any pure CF boxes? haha

 

cos CF will become brittle in time to come and when kana hit...

[s4vtec]

wah lau eh..that's is a pair of nice boxes..saw it at Mah today..tempted to fix up a pair too..

but afraid it is not proportional to the bike..

[yctradingsg]

wat's the cost of a bomb??

 

Well, I don't think so, maybe abit more than normal GIVI ones.

I'm toying with this idea. If got good feedback, I can try asking a factory to manufacture ^_^

[yctradingsg]

bro bro, pure CF is tougher than just FRP is it not? those that become brittle in time must be poor quality CF liao lo...

manufacture a sample to show would be great..

[yctradingsg]

haha... wait til I find a trusty factory first.

I might do it in 2-3 month's time.

huhuh... no la... but thnx for yr compliments...

ya, that's the moriwaki gp shorty, change to that to accomodate the boxes, but sadly, that's the limit the guy @ 219 can go. so am thinking of going to SK to retro-fit the wingrack again?

yr's height is ok mah, why wanna shift higher? affects the aerodynamics imo... haha...

no la, the handle wobbles when in high speed, which may cause tank slap.

as for the side boxes, normal gliding speed also wobble as the rear is heavy.

hahaha... here wobble there wobble....

neway, hopefully can mit u up to see yr setup, cos wanna see how it's manufactured & mounted...

 

wah lau eh..that's is a pair of nice boxes..saw it at Mah today..tempted to fix up a pair too..

but afraid it is not proportional to the bike..

 

eh, actually it suits me just fine leh...

maybe different people has different needs, views & opinions?

Huh? U mean who? I wana lower, khai wana higher leh...

I pay that price bcos I trust his(ah Hua) workmanship & technique. My previous bikes were also mounted from there, phantom, when CL & 219 still distributes Givi, Steed(but nt by ah Hua), after they dont carry Givi anymore.

IMO, this S4's mounting is the most sturdy & rigid I've ever had...

 

it seems big when it was hanging on the display rack..but when fixed on,i guess it seems all right..

 

Ya loh, when both was sitting @ hm, it looked @ me, telling me "Im fat."

Which I also deem so...

Then when I finally mount it on, it seems to me it looks just fine...
