Its on the cards..... looking to do a Ghan holidayOriginally Posted by BMWST?
Might have to buy them on sheer faith TBH seems no one has a VFR with panniers. TS had one 2 years ago (first time I decided they're a bike I would like to have one day)
Thought surely there's one somewhere within the N.I.
Just ride.

Nope they have the GIVI V35's. We have the matching topbox for the V35 set but the extra mount bracket lifts and moves the side boxes forward, back to the same issue as with the ST4S, panniers in the way of her getting on smoothly
Looks like the OEM set from Oz on sheer faith.
On the VFR Forums the popular (and cheaper) option was the V35's as they add about 16 more liters of space. That's not the issue for us, its bout her being able to mount up (we both runts lol)

you will be down the tubes for return postage but surely you can ask them if you can return them if they dont fit your requirements? Where is the shop in aussie?I have knowledgeable contacts in Melbourne .If you can take some measurements i could maybe see if i can verifyNope they have the GIVI V35's.

Good luck with them and especially at a price which doesn't require a phonecall to the bank manager...
I remember looking into the bike when it was first released and was utterly staggered at what the cost was for factory luggage. Astronomical...
As others have said, Oz may be the better option for supply.

They'll fit. They're standard Honda ones the link in above posts from me and the mounts are already part of the bike. No brainer there, they're even my bikes colour.
Sit lower back and down a bit so easier for her to climb on (but it would have been nice to test)

People think nothing of dropping a similar amount of money on a fancy exhaust.
A bit of perspective that will soften the outlay maybe.

The perspective that gets my nappies all wrinkled is knowing that a zorst costs about $40 to make, and luggage not much more.
Grasping cunts.

I don't know where you live, but if you want to come to Welly, you can try mine out. I have the OEM panniers and top box.

Glad to see this all worked out and my cynical observations from the start of the thread didn't come to pass.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
