Givi have a range of panniers and top boxes to suit. You will pay big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for it.

You can adapt an RJays top box to a ventura rack by cutting off the top U bar.

Like rocking horseshit to find second hand.

I like this guy's setup

I've seen other ZZR's for sale with this sort of gear but no one wants to part it out.

Depending on what model you have will determine if the rack fits. If it's a C model rack it won't fit the D models as they have slight differences in the arse end.

As for hard luggage, I have nothing but praise for the Hepco and Becker top box and panniers I have fitted to the Rex. It's like the tardis now!! Swallows heaps of gear and then does interstellar travel!! The Hepco & Becker stuff is simple to fit and hasn't given me a moments problem since I put them on 18 months ago. I've probably done 20,000 klms with them fitted and they work really well, are easy to load, easy to unload and carry as much as I need for a long trip. I can pack my laptop, suits, casual gear etc and go away for two weeks comfortably.

I got them from the Aus Distributor who is in QLD i think from memory. I just googled Hepco and Becker and up it came! :)

We just fitted a Givi system to the Boat/CBR1000F... which has now been re-named the Matiz, as we believe it now will have more boot space than a Matiz.

$3000 all up - forget lane splitting ! top holds two helmets, the sides also hold helmets etc... convenient but HUGE.

As I have been relegated to Pillion for a few months, I have spent a bit of time on the back...and feel I should wear slippers, a glass of port in one hand and a cigar in the other when on it. She's like a big old arm chair :lol:
