Hello Lloyd...
Those are genuine Give parts with the paint on -
Apparently they do them with a blue metallic that matches both Suzuki Candy Grand Blue and a very similar Honda colour - all you have to do is get hold of them...
I bought my panniers new on the promise that the dealer - Colwyn Bay Motorcycles (who are Givi agents) could get the lids from Givi for me. This was August a couple of years back, but apparently the whole of Italy goes on holiday in august... (can't complain - I'm quarter Italian myself!!!)
So Givi sent me some black lids on loan (which are in the Amlwch photo) and eventually sent the blue lids from Italy a few months later. They look dead smart! Full marks to Givi for loaning me the lids...
I can't praise Colin in the parts dept of Colwyn Bay M/C enough - he's a real darlin'! Done lots to help me get stuff.
When I have all my kit lashed on - tent, bedroll, and everything else that a girl needs (and that's a lot!) my li'l 'Strom settles down and handles a treat - just eats the miles!
She an' me are off to Pembroke tomorrow, with tent, for a few lazy days in the sun......
