Givi Luggage

[DOG]

I'm thinking about fitting Givi pannier rails
 to my '21, 1050 XT. Probably PLO3118CAM.
Does anyone have these fitted already and any views - good or bad ?
I already have Givi boxes hence Givi rails.
FWIW I quite like the bike and had a  2013 650 a few years back.

I had them fitted to my 2023 1050 and they worked fine, with my Canyon bags or some E22 I use. I will be having a go at cutting and welding them to fit my 800RE as Givi only make them for panniers with a cut out ,which I do not have or want.
I have the the quick release system which lets me leave the rails off when not needed.

deecat - is that because the exhaust is located differently on the 800? Definitely post pictures, I love a good project

[deecat]

Yes the exhaust is the issue, the top two mounts from the 1050 are the same centres as the 800 so I fitted them to have a look.

For me my Canyon bags sit a bit to close so I might end up raising the exhaust side by about 30mm.
This should allow me to keep the bags closer to the bike,unlike the Givi 800 ones will.

The other two fixing points are well out,so it will require some fabrication. The brackets that fit to the foot pegs with two bolts,are going to need to be moved out a hole to allow the Givi fixing to lock in and miss the foot peg bracket.

I have an after market end can that I took off the 1050 and this will fit I just need to look at some of the link pipe covers available to cover the lugs left on the standard pipe when the black shield is taken off.

I might get away with not having to raise the rail if I use the after market can,but I like the option to change back to standard.
This is not something I am in a rush to do as we are going on Holiday soon and not on the bike for a change.

If you're buying the CAM rack I presume that your existing boxes are Givi Trekker Outback as the CAM rack is not compatible with the Givi Alaska or Dolomiti boxes. The CAM rack has a four point mounting system which only work with the Trekker Outback.

CAM system bought and fitted along with adapter kit (OFMK) which allows Trekker style or Monokey to fit. Nice fit and far superior to Suzuki boxes. Now ready to tour.

OK. Picture attached.

Are the "CAM" frames permanently attached?? 
For my 2014 1000 only the CAM version and the "quick detach" monokey frames are available.. I don't want the quick detach system, just don't like the idea of things that can be quickly detached...
With he adapter set for the CAM, it allows me to use my existing Monokey panniers or option to purchase some less "adventurey" cases.. 

[Ray1965]

I have the CAM racks on my wee. No, they're not quick detach, they're bolted on until such a time that unbolt them.

[AdvntureSi]

Bit the bullet and order the set of CAM frames..
Just have to find a pair of suitable panniers.. I have some really old givi (1990's)
Going to blag a pair of E36 to try...
But seen some Kappa K41 or Givi E41's that should be cavernous...

[Ray1965]

The only panniers that fit on the Givi CAM Rack are the Givi Trekker Outback.
They're not cheap either.

[AdvntureSi]

Yeah.. only the PL (cam) or PLR are available for the 14-17.. Those "outbacks" are bloomin expensive really..
I am making some adapters to retro fit the monokey..
The removable frames just don't appeal to my engineering head.. complication and flexing (seen a few reports and You Tube issues with the removables)

The "CAM"  set bolt up solid and have no flex points.. really impressed with the strength..
