Givi Side Case Racks...Do they exist?

[cbolling_imp]

I am thinking about picking up a CB1100. I just sold my BMW RT and don't want to live without side cases. I had a pair of Givi E21's on a previous Kawasaki Versys and they would be perfect on the CB1100. Does Givi make racks for a 2013 or 2014?

Givi does not offer them, SW-Motech does. See this: http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=6242

Geez, don't make him feel bad....

So to answer the question, give a call to Givi USA (704)679-4123 East coast or (775)359-0900 West coast. They do not have any side bag mounts for the CB1100.

Hepco and Becker do. check these links:

Lol well the forum does better when the form members actually participate occasionally

Cbolling, if you want to stick with Givi, they do make a top case rack. You could get a rear rack and case and sell your side cases to get some of your money back.

Sometimes a man just has to ruminate on an idea for a while. Glad to have you on here, Cbolling! Redbird has sweet Givis on his bike so I'd listen to him.

those side racks have pre punched holes to bolt on the givi monokey mounts:

here you can see those Givi monokey hardware parts (triangle clamp on top bar, two mushroom pegs at bottom, 4 rubber bumpers on sides ) fastened to the EVO racks:


i have the EVO racks on my cb1100 , with the givi hardware per above, i have mounted a set of givi e22 (same as e21, different lid) on my bike.

I have these SW Motech EVO side carrier/rack and made total of 70 Kms = NO complaints, excellent !

Thanks, for the replies and sorry for not posting sooner. Yes, I have been a member for a long time but have never really posted. I bought a 2014 over the weekend so I will be an active member going forward.

I looked on SW Motech's web site and the rack are not available. I will have to check some of the other links. Hopefully I can find a set for sale somewhere.

Did you check SW Motech - Germany or Twisted Throttle/USA or Canada...eBay???

 

[cbolling_imp]

Here is my bike by the way.

I checked Twisted Throttle a few weeks ago but now that I have an actual item # to search for I may have better luck

Trapezoid shape side racks are more universal, the biggest issue might be with the hardware for your '14 CB...it also fits '13 model. I did transfer from the '13 onto the '14 = no issue.
May this help you more/better?:

For these ^^ side racks, I use pictured bellow AERO side panniers , also by SW Motech:

And this is how they look on my bike

Make sure you get the side racks with hardware matching your side panniers...otherwise may not work together.
There might be some other options by SW-Motech or different companies. Check.
Good luck!!

I found some SW Motech racks on Amazon. Price seems to be way jacked up though. I guess I will have to relocate my rear blinkers. Has anyone done that?

 

[peterbaron]

First pic below is a U shape bracket with 6 holes, OEM SW-Motech.
You can easily make it by urself from a nice piece of metal strap, shape it, fold it and drill 6 holes of different diameter: 2 bottom for the U shape bracket holding bolts, 2+2 wing side L+R to accommodate the turn signals. If you chose this design, you'll have to make one side turn signal's harness longer by about 1 foot, and I believe is the R-side, as the turn signals harness runs on the L side of rear fender, then you have to drill a hole below the stop light - in lamp's black housing to run the turn signal wires through it.
Here are some orientation pics:

This is what I did with my OEM SW Motech.

You may go alternate way and see if lic plate bracket + home made extension can accommodate relocated turn signals + both T-signals harness extension by 1-2 feet

That is awesome. Thank you

Far as I can tell, the EVO side racks have been discontinued.
