New Ride

[Don Burns]

Rode my wife's new F 800 ST, did not want to give it back ! Soooo Smoooth ! She has the Givi V 35 cases......I want Givi , but smaller. Anyone have smaller Givi side / top cases? Thanks, Don.....from Bethesda, Maryland.

Hi Don and welcome!

There really isn't a whole lot available that's smaller than the V35 cases. The BMW set is a bit more compact, and there are these:

Hi Don and welcome! So I guess (if you want advice on the top case here) you are going to buy a F800 too? That would make you two the third (if my memory is not fooling me) F800 couple!

As to the smaller case: with the right adaptor plate all Givi's will fit the F800ST rack so just pick the one you like the most at the Givi dealer and ask him to add the plate needed for that top case.

Have fun [ride][ride]

Thanks,
I put a $ 500.00 deposit on a 2008 F 800 ST (Grey Color) and now it's a hurry up and wait!!! I am so pleased that I turned towards BMW. My Suzuki (S-50) is a great bike and I will miss it..........I am buying the low frame 800 as I am about 5'8" and am able to flat-foot both sides. Am going with the Givi E 360 for the top case and then I will get the V 35's for the side cases. I hope to be " on the bike" in about two weeks....Like I said, my wife just bought this same bike, and I rode it for just a little bit and it fit like a glove! Life is good.
See you at Gillette,
Don
