Hi
My old 2001 FJR which I ran for the ten years didn’t come with Yamaha panniers and I used Givi Monokey Boxes, initially with a Givi Wingrack and later with SW Motech holders.
The problem I have now is one that I didn't foresee when I switched my old FJR for a later 2009 model is that neither Givi nor Motech make a mounting for the later models.
So I am forced to use the quite useless Yamaha ones; and to call this bike a Tourer fitted with these boxes is a joke. With these panniers on, a flask, a packet of sandwiches and a jacket and they are full.
I toured Europe with this bike this year and I have to have so much stuff strapped to it with bungees I look more like Bedouin Arab!
So whilst not hopeful does anyone know if there is rack system out there in the big wide world made to mount Givi boxes on the later model FJR?
Cheers
