Our holy search is over!! Pirates' Lair is now offering GIVI T431 Soft Saddlebags to our quasi-esteemed customers. As most have heard me rant, I'd rather submit myself to a prostate exam given by Mike Tyson than pay BMW $600+ for their foofoo, sissy hard luggage option for my K1200S. I simply won't do it. You have to draw the line somewhere, my friends. So.. what to do as an alternative? I'm glad you asked.. We recently road tested 2 soft saddlebag offerings from both RKA and Tourmaster. Both were OK, but nothing to write home about so I kept looking and have now found (at least for me...) the perfect soft saddlebags for my own K1200S. The GIVI Model T431 Soft Saddlebags. I love these bags!! The GIVI's are admittedly a little smaller (11"x 18"x 11") than the others we've tested but they offer more clearance of the exhaust can and a much sleeker look. They actually look good on virtually every bike we've tried them on! While looking uber-chic when zipped up, they also expand to offer a total capacity of 20 liters ea.. or so they claim. The GIVI T431's are constructed using a new textile that imitates carbon fiber. We offer these in black only. Rain covers included! Mounting them on your bike will require a little creative thinking. They provide plenty of velcro and numerous bungies and straps with snaps but no instructions as to how to mount them. Took me a full 20 minutes to figure it out to install them on my K1200S (pic at left) , but now I can mount and remove them in less than 2 minutes.. Mongo happy.

| Backrest Owner? Need even more storage space? Pirates Lair also carries the Roll Bag by T-Bags (shown above and pics below) that slides down over any aftermarket backrest including the criminally priced Corbin which I have on my bike. The Roll Bag is very sleek and great for a day's ride or a welcome addition to your GIVI bags. Not too big... not too small and compliments the curves of any bike. The Roll bag, with it's plastic bottom insert for support also comes standard with a rain liner. If riding solo, flip it around and have it sit in the passenger seat. |
