can you ride with those and a passenger? looks like the saddle bags would get in the way.

Yes you can ride with a passenger and have the bags on too.

Jeez, those are big!

Tuesday, I windexed the bugs off our bikes and my son and my husband-in-law went for a nice ride in the country near sunset and met some other guys for dinner. Then we got to ride home at night. Had a great time. One of the guys at dinner brought a newly acquired 69 Mustang in candy apple red with a build-up 302 he got off ebay. Sounded good. My kid is a mustang loyalist.

Thumbs up

Mark, I got my GIVI set from these guys in Cincy. They seem competitive on prices.

Thanks McDuff ...... like the silver lids .... they'll go well with my awesome paint
scheme

Well this evening I lubed up the chain for tomorrows commute down to MA .....nice
new highspeed feature has been added to my daily commute in the form of a high
speed EZ PASS "Open Toll Road" .........of course I will have to slow up
going through by bringing her down to 65mph ......should shave a few minutes
off the ride though !

Top Case: E460
E92 Halogen Brakelight/Stoplight Kit for E460
Saddle Bags: E41 Keyless
Wingrack Fitting Kit: Y140

They forgot to package the turn signal kit, It won't arrive till next Monday.
The Saddle Bags do not interfere with Passenger seating.

I bought mine through Cycle Gear (www.cyclegear.com) however www.twistedthrottle.com is good site too.

I imagine they will have a significant impact my fuel economy.

It seems the only thing that influances MPG is using WOT!
