Can someone in Cali or Japan help this poor guy. I would thinking shipping from TX would not help, but I would be glad to see what prices I can get, if interested.

We probably need rack and bag numbers?

Ok i ordered the cheapest set i found from America, since our $ is so good, it was pretty much a 1:1 exchange rate.



Just got the PLXR166 Rapid release Brackets

and V35 Flat black 35l Panniers.



I was tempted to get a FZ166 Top box mount for 150 for later on down the track, and a Givi Touring deflector screen for 110. but will see what happens. https://www.premierc...ctCode=GV-D217S



I think the flat black which is 100 bucks cheaper comes with unpainted raw plastic inserts as oposed to painted inserts, so i will just get some stickers made up in white and put them ontop to match the bike.



Thanks to all that have helped, will ask further when i get them and try to fit them Lol

now ive gota learn how to pack and use them, since seems they open outwards, anything stacked would probably fall out. i didnt think i should spend like 150 bucks on inner bags for them though.
The Number plate part was the most fiddly, i also had the brackets around the wrong way on the foot pegs.
It has this Hex looking tool, that u just push into 3 points on each bracket, and its a pin lock type system, theirs a part where u can put a padlock on so it cant be removed, if somebody comes along with one of these keys.
Just gota learn that shes got a big fat arse now, when going through tight spots.
The removable colour match pannels come off, the smoth part on the side, im takign them off and going to get some custom white stickers made up, instead of painting them, for a colour matched look.
Im saving up for a v360 top box and bracket and givi tinted spoiler screen and Oggy Knobs.
