Wow, bummer! Heard about this issue before, but seems to be pretty sporadic. How many miles on your bike?

not as many as I normally do, around 16-17k km

Always wondered about the inner bags, how much space do they take up?

As someone that has V35's and an E52, a roomy duffle is in some ways better than V35's. You can fit more into it without learning origami, the V35's are oddly shaped and a pain to efficiently use all the space in them. There's also the matter of getting stuff on and off the bike. I always feel...

Sooooooo want, someone please update this thread with an install

Congrats!!! As an outsider that's been to California a few times, I couldn't be more jealous. It really is a beautiful place

Good to hear Yamaha Canada is taking care of you. I have an '07 with about 45k km on it that's still ok, but this thread has scared the bejesus out of me.

Hello... hello... helloooooo?

So the other day realized that on my new to me FZ1, the centre stand was sitting against the rear shock dogbone and the chain was ever slightly grinding away at the centre stand. Problem was as simple as the Yoshi exhaust was missing the rubber bumper, well half of it at least, the inner bit was...

Ratchet strap, I like that I can make it tight and it won't move. The bungee's always move around if the bag is heavyish. Supposedly Rokstraps are good, but I've never tried them. The ratchet tie down's work well for me.

Haven't used that bag, but for my money I would just get a plain, non bike specific duffel. Used to use a Motopak 60L duffel, which while being marketed as a moto bag, is not much different than something you can get from a sporting goods store for $30-40. Here it is on my old FZ6, it's held...

Just like that the cycle is complete. Picked up the FZ1 a couple weeks ago, someone came by and picked up my FZ6 (2006 Yamaha FZ6 with Givi racks and luggage) this morning. Here's the new toy, but can't stop thinking about the old one.

Thanks, but 359FZ and 365FZ both exist GIVI 359FZ Monorack Arms - GIVI 365FZ Monorack arms -

1400miles isn't that far. Especially in the states where you're never far from civilization. Only thing I would pack is a credit card and a AAA membership. Don't overthink it, just have fun.

Any ideas? Givi site has both but doesn't mention any differences. FZ-1 '06-14'
