Been having a browse on the site and seems I have a choice of Heed (that I am perhaps heading for) Givi, SW Motech, Touratech.

I guess much of a muchness really but any pointers will be  gladly accepted.  :)

 Might want to mount some lights as well over the winter months so any tips what you have fitted much appreciated

Greetings.

I asked before xmas, anyone fitted these to our machine.  I note quite a few have on the 650's and all seem to rate them, looks like will  I order a set from Poland.  The price is very competitive compared to the usual ones.  Looks like I will be first, but I'd rather not and have a bit of feedback ! :icon_wink:

Can't speak for your model but mine on the glee are fine. Well packaged, quick shipping, accurate fit and the finish is holding up much better than that on my Givi luggage racks.

I have the Suzuki ones on mine, they have been a good investment, protected the bike in two stationary lay downs, lights mounted OK, and they have not rusted to date.

When on a trip I manage to wind and lock my armex security chain on  one side and another on tother, so they are ready to use....nothing has dropped off as yet..I also use them as lifting points with my excavator when servicing the front end,most useful...so take no heed of any disenters... :groan: :grin:
