Givi Hard Cases

[Steve843]

I've had my Givi Monokey sidecases for a few months now. I painted them last week. Here are some pictures... The undercoat is Toyota Blue with two coats of Yamaha Blue on top, followed by three coats of clear. The bike is also equipped with air horns and LED accent lights (blue of course).

I've done quite a bit on this bike and welcome any questions or comments, even suggestions...

Can you post a few more shots of the paint job. maybe a side and rear view would be great.

Thanks.

 

[Steve843]

Here's a rear view I took in the driveway and a quick side view from the garage. I'm still figuring out the picture posting deal.

Looks great! Did you get matched paint, or just pick something close?

 

[Steve843]

Thanks for asking. I wanted it to be just a bit darker than the rest of the bike so I used a Toyota Royal Blue for a base coat and covered it with two coats of factory Yamaha Blue. The factory paint cost over $40 delivered and the Toyota Royal Blue was only about $6 from the local auto parts store. Go figure...

I am not one for hard cases, but they look cool man!

Wow! That looks great. Do the wire rack mounts stay on when you take the bags off?

 

[Steve843]

The mounts are actually tube steel and come off in two parts with a special key that comes with them. I usually only take off the cases to clean the bike or to check into a hotel. They come in handy on weekend trips. The cases literally take about 10 seconds to remove and 10 to put back on. The mount takes less than a minute but can stay on all the time if you prefer.

Did you made the suppports or just buy them. ? If you did them, would you mind sharing the measurments and angles so I could make one pair for myself. !!

 

[Steve843]

I'm nowhere close to being good enough to make those things. Here's where I found them... Givi Monokey V35 motorcycle side case, luggage, hard cases They're a bit pricey but well worth it IMHO.
