I bought a used Givi luggage rack (2008 model) and oddly, when I went to buy used Givi cases for it, they didnt fit although they were all "Monokey" models, whats going on here???????

good description Thanks! I'll do that.

Hi I live in Montreal, I plan to go visit New York City this summer with my son, on my motorcycle. Thing is, it makes me nervous to thing that I'll be heading into this dense traffic with a loaded bike with my son sitting in back. Do I have good reasons to worry about safety in and around NYC? Do yo...

In Erope, everyone is going for this one: http://www.wrs.sm/fr/prodotti-wrs-cupolini/2859-cupolino-parabrezza-wrs-alto-sport-18-trasp-r-1200-r.html Being French Canadian, I joined the French (from France) forum also. They think Cee Baileys and Calsci look awfull and are cheeply made. This WRS screen...

I talked to a guy on an ST1100 with one of a similar design, fiberglass body. Very sleek looking. He indicated he didnt even know it was there, stops good, no issues, and this guy was quick in the twisties. That rig looks like a great solution, any photos of the bike hitch and how it connects ? Kee...

I bought a GL1800 GoldWing that came with a BushTek hitch and a two wheeled trailer; I used it about four times in eight years. A loaded trailer really affects stopping distance and, with two wheeled trailers, your road contact width goes from 4" wide to 40" wide. I did pull a single whee...

I got it! I'd find a rubbermaid type container that fits the best the rig. I'd loose the cover, flip it upside down and cover the nylon bag with it . Then use a bungee cord to hold it in place... yess.... Hey wait a minute! Why am I waisting time thinking about all of this? :-k I dont have enough mo...

The battery'on the right side, the motorcycle is facing the wrong way though.. joke...

:smt083 I wonder how water tight that bag is? I have thought about taking up camping, mostly due to the demise of the "mom&pop" motel. That thing looks like it would easily hold the necessary gear. The guys told me that the standard bag wasn't water proof. But there are water proof ba...

I don't know this particular trailer and have myself never dragged a trailer. But, I see people with one wheeled trailers along the Parkway all the time, and they seem to be doing fine. Yes, I am also someone who travels light, but I don't think that has to have any bearing on others. For someone w...

It's hard to tell much from those pictures, but it looks like he may have a non standard battery that's installed backwards, and the wires and terminal cover are in the way of the seat. Hey there, thanks for the help, but just so I'm not mistaking: Looks to me like the battery is in the right posit...

Thanks!

I think that's actually first gen.

oh well then

I tend to travel light, so really would have no need. But I would like a "test-tow" just to see what it is like. A friend who's wife travels with him, pulls a Voyager trailer.with a Valkyrie..it kills his mileage and he says you can feel it back there, particularly when stopping. Somethin...

I put on a bunch of miles behind a bike that was pulling one of these (Bob Weber from Halifax,NS) and he didn't seem to be having any problems. He said he can't even feel it when accelerating or stopping. See? This thing rocks, I much prefer having a clean bike not loaded up with truncks cases and ...

Thanks!

Me, I thing the idea is brilliant. Instead of havinf 50 pounds of top heavy weight resting on you bike, you have 25 pounds of weight behing your bike with a very low center of gravity. I say 25 pounds cause the wheel on the trailer carries the other 25 pounds. Further more the back wheel follows in ...

I can see it clear as a bell. Bend the left one back to match the right one. David Thanks but how do you know it's not the right one that should be bent to match the left one? Maybe a clue to this is the lowest one should normally me the faulty one cause it is improbable ta a U-Pin would be bent up...

Maybe someone from the Montreal area will answer. i'll be going thru there in late August with another R1200R rider but I imagine you'll have it sorted out by then. I tried taking some pictures -- but their just about useless. http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff308/mogu83/IMG_1354_zpsbab6af84.jpg...

http://www.cyclope2000.com/photos/Cyclope%202005/janvier%202005/slides/DSCI0019.html I think this is the coolest trailer around, and I wish I had the money to buy one. I like the concept of the big bag that you cand bring in the motel room. And I think it fits with the BMW R-series bikes. Dunno why,...

My guess is the u-pin got bent cause someone rode the bike with the seat not clipped in coorectley. I dont think BMW would let a bike out the factory with a seat leaning to one side. But we never know, after all, nobody would have predicted chernobil but still it happens
