Givi luggage question... : Kawasaki ZX Forums: Kawasaki Ninja Forum

dropinparts · 01-14-2008, 02:08 PM

I have seen pictures on various forums with ZX14's using the Givi PLX 35 sidecases. They look good, but, they are small. I have a set of Givi E41 Keyless bags that I really like and I would like to mount them on the bike. I was curious if anyone has used this sidecase on their 14 or any other Givi Monokey sidecase similar in size.

I had the 41's on my zzr and I have the 35's on my zx14. I much prefer the 35's. They are much better looking, hold almost as much as the 41's (including a full face helmet) and are a full six inches narrower across the back of the motorcycle (36 inches for the 35's versus 42 inches for the 41's). I am a big Givi fan, I like their product and have been using them for years. I think the 35's are the way to go on the zx14.

I agree on the looks of the PLX35's. They do look better, but, I'm not going to keep the sidecases on the bike all the time, just when needed. For this reason, I have decided to use the E41 Keyless and the SW Motech removable sidecase racks. I do appreciate the reply.

Ok... I screwed up.

I ordered the SW Motech sidecase racks to use with the Givi E41 sidecases. The reason being, I already had the E41's on another bike I had for sale... so I just thought I would keep them. Made sense at the time.
The short version, they're ugly as hell and mount WAY TOO HIGH on the bike.

I ordered them from Twisted Throttle, who by the way are great people to deal with. They agreed to take the SW Motech racks back and I ordered the Givi tubular sidecase racks and the Givi PLX35 sidecases.

All is well.

Any pictures yet? With and without cases would be great. I've fitted an E52 top case for long weekend trips but need more space for the 2 week trips. Can't decide between Oxford soft panniers or the Givi cases.
