Title: What panniers and rack for my K9 Wee
Post by: Brockett on March 30, 2017, 09:12:55

I have seen photos of K9 Wee where the side box rack is bolted into the top box carrier.( may be steel)
My top box carrier ( May be this is only a carrier and will only take a top box when additional mount is added) is a cast alloy job that has none of those fixings. Does anyone know what type / reference number etc I need for the correct side case rack and cases to fit my bike?

Or do I have to remove the existing carrier and then buy a top box rack and this will accept the side case rack?
PS Regarding the new style Suzuki accessory web pages. They really are poor as pi$$.

Yes the new website is 'under development' still.
If it's the angular aluminium rack you have, keep it and fit a givi monokey plate and topbox.
Then get the swmotech (via motohaus website) quick release pannier racks with givi mounting hardware and givi monokey panniers.
That way you can keep all the luggage when you change or sell it on.
The Suzuki luggage will only sell to someone who has a classic v-strom.
