According to givi's website you can get a monorack and a box to put on it but not the wingrack which holds the side panniers. You can then stick various sized boxes on top.

I have the monorack and a box for my blade which I use for commuting and have also used for a couple of weekends in france. It's bloody brilliant and it keeps your kecks dry and you don't have to worry about your soft luggage getting nicked, leaking or catching on fire or your tank bag getting in the way or your tailpack falling off and jamming in the wheel etc.

Don't go for the painted finish though, get the cheapest rough samsonite'esq grey finish as you'll just scratch it anyway.

People will take the piss but 'em

Good luck,

Mark

PS. Got mine from M&P.

PPS. You can see the rack on the bike and the box on the floor in my profile if you click on the fireblade link.

Try Ebay for the luggage and rack - possibly separately.

I got a Baglux tank cover for my GSXR600 for about 15 quid, posted. Usual cost is more like £80-100 for brand new.
