Hard Bags on FZ6R's

[Rich007]

I have seen a few 6R's with hard bags and would like to see some pictures and models of them and what all is needed to mount them properly.
I'd like to be able to take off for a few days this summer and need somewhere to store some clean undies if you know what I mean.

Here's my set-up. Givi E21 side case and large top case I got from Ebay for $40. I did my own rack because I was too cheap to buy one. But if I had to spend the $$$ I would have got the SW-Motec rack.

That's a good one week gone one up set up. Plenty of room for few tools and chain lube on one side then rain gear on the other side case. Top case is good for a nice gym bag size. Plenty of clothes for a week.

I have the Givi V46 and found I really like that size.

link because picture is way too large that I took on phone to post in thread! Need to take a new pic

For saddle bags, I want the V35s but dont have the funds yet. I currently use soft saddlebags when needed. The V46 though has held my work laptop, spare shoes, Air pump, spare visor , lunch and had room to go. You can really pack stuff in there.

Thanks alot guys, the V-35's on Nismos look like what I am looking for. Now trying to find the best place to buy them and the mounts for them.

I would just keep an eye on ebay for used V35's and wait for coupons from mcc for this Givi PLXR Side Case Mounts - Street Motorcycle - Motorcycle Superstore

Either this or check out Revzilla or Sporttour.net I think is the site. I believe they both offer free shipping.
Twisted throttle is another site, but their shipping is expensive.

Nismos, Leem00, ever fit a passenger up there with the v35s? I'm thinking about getting a set for small trips, but I wouldn't want to get them if my lady didn't have room for her legs.

Somone on here posted pictures of carrying a passenger with the V35s. If you google FZ6r & V35 images you might find that picture. I think I saw it before doing it that way also. It looked like it made things tighter, but still worked because it is just under where the passenger thighs would be.
Here is the link, it is a kid, but shows how it works room wise.
