I've found a few photos in the member's gallery of 1050 Sprints equipped with the Givi E41 side cases, but all the pictures I've been able to find thus far are from the side. They look great from the side & I'm just about sold on going with the E41's in favor of my current over-engineered factory garbage.

I'd like to see a few pics of givi equipped bikes from the front & rear. I want to get a better idea of just how much wider these cases will make my bike. I'd like to see mounting positions with both the Givi brackets & SW-Motech hardware.

Please post your pix here, or post up a link to your gallery if these pix are already in there.

Thanks!

:chug:

Previous thread

There are some pics on 2nd page of the thread. A widebody for sure, but when you need the space, you need the space. You cannot beat the SW Motechs for convenience. On and off in two minutes, bags, racks and all.

Thanks! Knew the pix were out there. Search function on this forum leaves much to be desired.

Personally, I use the E360's with SW-Motech hardware. No, doesn't look great while on the bike, but at least with the SW-Motech hardware, I can easily remove all for a clean look.

With bags, holds plenty of ****e, and removed, looks the sportbike part. Not to mention, the entire get-up costs as much, if not less than the Triumph factory set (pre-06, when they were including it with the bike, that is).

With bags:


Sans bags:


Sans hardware:

They are wide, but the E41 cases are great to have...

If I do ever replace my '02 with a new gen ST I'd have to go with a Givi setup too. The OEM bags do not follow the lines of the bike enough to make up for less capacity. If I'm going to have panniers that look like after thought add-on's they'd better be waterproof, and carry a good deal of stuff.

Thanks for the pics fellas. Gives me visuals to keep in mind.
