A sensible idea!

Just spotted this on Nippy's site...

...and thought it worth posting.

Four season's hand guards. Gotta love the idea...

Will go nicely with a top box.
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Talking of Top boxes, I have a Givi mount on the back of the bike and will be looking for a box for it, sometime.  It's silver with a triangle shape.

Yep! An enormous 55 litre Givi, a svelte Givi Business Case and a Peli Protector case for my big binoculars. Simples!

Givi come in two flavours, Monolock and Monokey which have very different fittings methods and are not inter-fittable.

A piccie will help us identify what you have.

Top boxes?

I need a wrecked Givi topbox so I can cut the base down to use as a mounting for the Peli case for my new DJI Phantom drone.

Any offers?

Put a piccie up of your new drone Brian. I'll make a print copy and use it as target practise for my .22 Webley.  :)

Could you make something like mine Brian, is it viable?

Thanks.
I noticed a sticker on the side saying that the max load is 6Kg.  That's not a lot when you include a box.


That's the Monokey.
