I searched and searched, and can't find an answer. So does anyone know what the liter capacity of the factory sidebags is? Also, can Givi sidebags be put on instead of the stock ones?
Thanks, Lucas

Thanks for the quick response. 39L is plenty. So yeah, there is really no reason to swap them.39 liters ea. for the OEM ones.
As for the Givi question, you can... but
a ) you need special attachments for the Givi bags
b ) they don look as good as the Yammy ones (YMMV)

Are you still "Other or considering FJR"?I searched and searched, and can't find an answer. So does anyone know what the liter capacity of the factory sidebags is? Also, can Givi sidebags be put on instead of the stock ones?

Maybe I am missing something, but from what you need, it doesn't sound like it is necessary for all your gear to be inside hard luggage all the time. If you are just moving between locations you could also use a large outdoor or duffle bag and bungie it across the rear seat -- which is what I do when I take the FJR on a camping trip.I will probably still be riding with a backpack, so I need to be able to fit all of this in a Givi E52, backpack, and the factory sidebags. Will this be possible? What's everyones opinion on this. Will it all fit, or should I just go a different route?
Huh?Let's go for practical: One medium full face helmet and a pair of gloves. YMMV
That's another idea I was also thinking about. Just wondering if it was raining, would I be able to make it all fit.Maybe I am missing something, but from what you need, it doesn't sound like it is necessary for all your gear to be inside hard luggage all the time.

I have a JC Whitney top box and although I haven't tried it, I bet you can get your turnout boots, coat and pants in the top box. Helmet will probably go in a side bag with bedding etc in another. All else fails, get a red bag and bungy it onto the pax seat.To answer a few of the questions, I'm still other and considering. I'm riding an R6 right now, but will hopefully be getting an FJR in the short future. I can't really find any good deals on a used one around Austin, so I might be going new. I already plan on getting a Givi E52 for the back. The reason I'm inquiring about the side bags is that when I went and looked at the bikes the other day, the side bags just didn't look all that big. I'm a firefighter, and sometimes we have to travel to another station in the middle of our shift. So the plan is to have a bike with enough storage to put my turnouts (trousers, jacket, boots, helmet, gloves) in or on, my bedding (twin sheet set, small blanket, and pillow), and some food for the shift.
