    Luggage (top box, panniers, tank bags, etc) for superbikes.

    Does anyone know where one can buy good luggage systems for sports bikes in india? im attaching a photograph of what i have in mind. I know an import is the best option (so far) but i have managed to find Givi top boxes here in india and it will be great if i could find panniers too.

            Any idea where we can get these things in Bangalore or India? I have read very impressive reviews about them and their waterproofing capabilities.

              Last time I saw a top box, it was on a scooter called LML Sensation, which my dad owned but otherwise in market, it somewhat failed. Eventually LML stopped its operations.

              Top Boxes are not available as the general perception is of looks getting spoilt, and moreover less people use bikes to travel intercity or inter state in India.

                          Hey, thank you so much buddy. Can you please let me know the address of the shop and their phone number please. I live in Ooty and am thinking to get one fixed on my P220. If you could help, that'd be so helpful.

                          Please PM me your number, and will contact you.

                          Thanks mate.

                            Does anyone know how much weight can this box bear as I got one shop in Kanpur who has this (surprising though). If anyone knows how much weight it can bear and is it safe for the highway??
                            I would be starting my trip from delhi to bangalore on the 3rd, would need some help regarding this from you guys!!
                            Thank You!!

                              The "Indianized" Givi boxes are not the origonal ones and cost 1/3rd the price of an original. Yeah they are of considerably good quality. Fit and finish is worth the price you pay for. Its not recommended to load it much as it would be going out of the vehicle , it causes a shift of CG. Affects greatly in cross winds. With bikes lile zmr , it becomes even more difficult. The box and the plate can be easily sourced, but the difficulty is in sourcing/fabricating the rack for it.

                              Its very helpful in long rides , more so in rains.
