Dealer told me that we will only see it in about Feb/Mar2008, cost approx, ZAR3700 including colour coding, crazy, rather go for a Givi E48 or E52, about half the cost.
Friend of mine got the new screen & pannier inner, works well, but also pricey.

Well...not exactly...The victory is one of those bikes you either love or hate...it looks better w/o the top case.
For the C-14/GTR I would prefer a lower mounted or shorter top case. The Givi and Kawi cases also don't have an overall shape that appeals to me, personally. I'll wait and see what else is developed, the "shape" of things to come I guess....

If the Kwak one is £190 then an E52 isnt half the cost in the Uk , but only a few £ cheaper.

Although I've ordered my new rear rack, I do like this concept:
and you used to be able to mount this nice low box on it too, but they've discontinued it:

No accounting for taste I guess. I thought it was way better than a Givi. Added bonus is colours match and Kawasaki logo. Not sure how you make a Topbox part of a bike? |

The Kawasaki box looks like a Givi E370 in the pictures on the Kawasaki site

Hi there im new to this site but thought id throw my 2 pence worth in, from what i can understand Givi are actually making the Kawasaki's GTR1400 own top box.
Regards Colin
Happy NEW YEAR to every one

There are several "low profile" boxes available after-market, but why bother with a top box at all unless it holds at least one full sized helmet and/or a week's worth of camping gear.
