Can't stand to look at the Wolfmans anymore so I'm ordering some Givis. I'm going with the E21's because I think they are the least offensive looking of my options. I will paint the lids the same color as my bike -what do you all think about these on the CBR?

once you get them please post up a picture. I have the Joe rocket sport saddle bags and after 8 months there faded.

 

I think the E41's are more suitable for big sports tourers....... These ones are more suited for the cruisers but that only my opinion.

cheers

 

That's more space than I need, and I ain't payin no 500 bucks. These are $164 for both and hold the exact same liters as my Wolfmans, which is plenty for the stuff I end up carrying. Here's another sport/standard bike with the lids painted, they don't look too awful. http://www.twistedthrottle.com/image...ctview/30/562/

Have I mentioned hard bag options for the CBR suck? anyone with any ideas beyond Kauser or Givi please share.

 

I think those handbag sized panniers are rather cute :-)

It's down to personal preference really. I had a GTR1000 (Concours) which had factory fitted big bags and they were mighty handy. If the smaller size suits your requirements then so be it - I guess the smaller they are the less you are going to take a hit from wind buffeting.

I'll be looking out for a nonfango set in a while, when i've got a bit more free money than none at all. Nonfango shut down a while back but their stuff seems to come up regularly and not as expensive as Givi.

 

Here's a VFR750 with the E21's - if they were painted red I think they pull it off pretty well, given our choices I'm going for it.

what year is that Gray CBR? I like the way the turn signals are in the mirrors and not on the front faring.

 

I think it is 93-96model... the guy changed the the rear mirrors to that of the Blackbird. I believe I got that pick from a thread in this forum. The ones on the front farings are now air intake holes.....

 

OK, so now I want a ZZR (ZX-11 here). What is the windscreen on the gray CBR? Looks good.
