I got the star trek reference, just not enough from me to have executed that joke. Frog suit and star trek, come on.

Frog suit and Mario would have made a joke.

Nobody can tell what's a joke and what isn't.

Rangerscott, if you ever decide to mount Givi luggage on your bike, it's a bit of a pain in the ass and requires relocating the turn signals and extending the signal light wiring. I'm still looking for an aftermarket shock, as the Elka ended up having a clearance problem on the lower mount. Strange, as I know they've sold a bunch of them for use on the Ninja 650, which has the same frame and swingarm.

Thinks for the heads up. No luggage for now, but maybe if I find a set really cheap. Windshield would go on before luggage.

First thing that is going on my is sliders or the cage.


These sliders are nice but I think they are mounted too low. I can picture the bike just tumping over them and the tank hitting the ground. Would be stronger if they tig welded the shafts onto the plates.

Yeah, those look pretty low. I could definitely see the bike rocking up onto the tank. I've seen some that mount higher up, but closer to the bike, which would probably both protect better and make it more difficult for them to snap off. You may find this page useful. It's more keyed to the Ninja 650R, but most things should fit.

I saw your thread about the crash bars. I like them, but they look like they would make working on the bike more difficult.

I needed the luggage for my commute, so that went on first. If you do decide to buy the luggage assemble all the brackets loosely first, then have a friend hold them in place while you get everything finger tight. It's a real pain in the ass if you're assembling it on the bike, getting everything to line up. It's good quality stuff and it does fit well, there's just an easier way to get it done than how I did it (alone and piece-by-piece).

I've already bought a Givi A446 screen, in solid black, and I'm just waiting for the mounting hardware. That seems to be a common theme with buying Givi stuff in Canada.
