Givi V46 top box question

Hello All,
I am thinking about getting the Givi V46 top box for my '06 Sprint and have a question for those who have one already. Of the blue lid panels available (there are four) which one matches the Caspian Blue the best or should I just get the matte black one and have it painted to match later?
Thanks.
Speed Safe,
Don

I am also interested in this subject.

Where does it say there are 4 blues? The UK site does not even have a blue!

If you look on Twisted Throttles website, click here and look under 'Replacement Lid Panel: Choose Color' you will see 4 different blues listed.
Speed Safe,
Don

How does this mount compared to the Triumph box?

What do you guys see as the advantages over the Triumph box?

I have not tried it, but I believe that the Triumph unit will not take 2 full face helmets, whereas the Givi does.

Also, the Givi unit offers the advantage of a quick release removal, using just a turn of the key. It will also accept a rear brake light - I believe any additional braking light is an advantage.

Whilst I cannot answer the question regarding the colour match, I can vouch for the Givi V46. I have one on my Blue 07 Sprint and its very good!

The reason I bought this instead of the Triumph one was on the advice of my dealer when I purchased the bike - he actually said that it was a better box than the factory one, and he's a main dealer.

It does indeed take 2 FF helmets, and is very secure with optional extras available.

The black panel that it came with is removable, and I will eventually have mine sprayed to match the bike anyway.

I've been told the Triumph bag won't take a single Large helmet.

I know my side bags won't
