Thread: GIVI PLX V35 bags and SW Motech rack. - Page 3 - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Motech's site claims that the rack will not fit the 06 and earlier models. But my kit came with extra brackets to fit the footpeg brackets on the 06 and earlier models. And if you look at the install pictures on their site, they are installing the rack onto an 06 FZ6. The swingarm and footpeg brackets are a dead giveaway.

I spoke to motech and they said it won't fit - I guess they could have stopped adding the extra parts to the kit which is why they say that it doesn't fit. Anyway, I personally decided to go for a large top box and soft givi side luggage on a givi soft luggage frame. Not ideal but I didn't have to move the indicators which was a small win!

nice installation.

I am considering the same install...what did you have to do to relocate turn signals? The pictures look like stock?

brilliant. saddlebags the way to go. look brilliant way better than alternatives.

I have a question or two. I am looking for a 3 hard bag setup for my 08 fz6. Here is what I'm looking for and those in the know can tell me what I would need or if it can be done. I would like a top rack and side rails that will allow the givi cases. I want removeable sideracks. A top rack that looks decent on the bike when no bag is attatched. I don't want anything that requires anything but bolt on installation. I don't want...

I too have been looking at the SW-Moto side rack or the Givi Rack...I don't have the money for the Givi bags, so I have been tinkering with cheaper alternatives. I was wondering if the Pelican Case 1430 Top Loaders or even the side loading cases would fit there. The top loaders would do better for me I think but I just don't know the fit. Any help/ideas guys?

Do you know how drastic/difficult the bodywork cutting is for the Motech top rack? I'm looking at the .pdf install instructions but it's not clear how hairy this cutting would be.

The Motech top rack won't come off the same way, and you do have to cut the bodywork in two places. The...

The V35N's look very nice, I am sorely tempted.
