    I recently bought my 2014 650, I want to get soft panniers. What's everyone running on theyre gen 2 for racks? The givi is cheap but looks pretty wimpy like it would crumple in a drop. Doesn't seem like there's much else available besides the SW-MOTECH. I'm probably going to get the tusk soft...

    I've been touring with soft saddle bags that have worn holes in them over the years. I am looking to buy hard saddle bags to upgrade for future trips. Please let me know if you are aware of any for sale or specific gear to consider buying new!

    Good morning all, I joined the Versys 650 family a couple weeks ago with an LT. I love the matching hard bags and the single key. The straps inside the cases leave something to be desired. I have the official KQR liner bags on my Christmas Wish List but I’m curious if anyone has done any mods...

    Hey everyone, I bought this 2016 versys 650 a few months ago and it came with these givi hard cases and rack. I want to order a matching top case to complete the luggage setup. But I am confused as to what parts I need at this point. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I think theres a...

    I'm in the market for a used pair of Shad SH36 Side Cases. If anyone has a pair that they'd like to sell in very good condition and reasonably, shoot me a message. Thanks, -Scott.

    I just got some Happy Trail panniers for my 1st gen, and I'm wondering who has the same setup and also a back rack. I didn't see one for my model on their site, and I was just checking to see who had what, and what fits. Pictures would be cool too. Thanks dudes.

    I would love some advice, or just a point in the right direction. I had a Givi bracket installed, and a V47 top case sat on that until the bracket broke into pieces and damaged my subframe (see attached pic). This probably had something to do with overloading the top case and the awful terrain...

    Hey, I'm tidying up the rear of my 2010 Versys. It came with a Givi top box set up that I'm trying to remove, but am stumped with how it's removed. The rear-most bolts are straight-forward to remove, but the ones under the seat don't seem to have any obvious way to remove them. Let me know if...

    Couldn't find a thread on it (i'm sure it's buried somewhere) but any suggestions for a good tank bag? With the plastic on either side of the tank are there problems with magnetic ones? Also how much of a pain is it to fuel up with them? I never had/ used one, but the thought of being able to...

    SW-Motech/Trax kit REVIEW First of all I must say when I received the box containing all nuts and bolts I was a bit discouraged and was tempted to just put it back in the car and go to a garage to have it installed. Then I thought, ok let's go step by step and see how much I can get done...

    Hello all! I've bought a set of the kawa factory side cases for my V and subsequently read that the kawa top case is not compatible for some reason. Does anyone use a sturdy top case that will work with the factory side ones? I assume givi would have something but am not sure. I apologize if...

    I'm getting ready for an awesome season of riding and camping. We want to get saddlebags for the Versys, but have concerns about safety. There doesn't seem to be much for the bags to attach to- most I've looked at have velcro that goes over/under the passenger seat and some bungee cords... but...

    Hey friends. I'm about to buy Givi sidecases and a topcase for my 08 Versys and I'm wondering if any of you have carried a passanger with them installed. I had no problem with my V-Strom but it seems the Versys is more compact and it may be difficult for the passenger to ride comfortably with...
