VFR luggage

2ndVFR · 05-27-2008, 09:49 PM

Hello,

For those who have a oem luggage on their VFR, can a full-face helmet fit inside?
What is the largest full face helmet size that will fit?

For those with the Givi 35, does it accept any full face helmet?

I thank you in advance for your input.

I just got my GIVI 35s and the smallest that will fit is my wifes Size small and its major tight. I love the Givi 35s and mounting hardware. Theres a ton of room just not really layed out for a full face helmet. Picked up my GIVI setup for $620 to the door from Honda VFR Interceptor seats, luggage, bars, exhaust, and accessories Good luck

Thanks for your reply. I take it that your wife's helmet isn't full face helmet?
May I ask where you purchased your Givi V35?

What size is your Shoei Rf1000? I'm debating between the oem or Givi. I don't mind spending extra $ if the oem will accept a larger size helmet.
Thanks for your reply.

It is a medium. It is hard to tell how much room is left, but it fits fine with maybe half an inch to spare.

jasonsmith · 05-27-2008, 11:28 PM

HJC AC-12 large will not fit.

I have a "Sport Touring Trunk" on the back of mine. It is a genuine Honda accessory so the paint will match. It holds 2 full face helmets. Looks a little funny because of the height. It has a rubber back rest on it to help support 2-up riding. My wife loves the trunk because she uses it as a back-rest. Just search Honda Motorcycle Trunks and you will find it. $600 with the bracket. Very easy to install.

Stay away from Corbin. They have little, if any, quality control, no customer relations department, and cost way too much. I speak from experence.

I have the OEM side cases and my XL helmet will fit inside of them with room for my gloves and other small items. They are plenty big for your helmet.

winaje · 05-28-2008, 06:05 AM

I have the OEM trunk, and can fit 2 full face medium Shoei helmets in it.

azpnshr · 05-28-2008, 07:05 AM

I have OEM side bags....I can fit my Lg Scorpion full face in one side and a Md Scorpion full face, with corbin seat back, in the other.

I have a Givi E45 on a top rack. It fits 2 helmets and I don't think that it sticks up too high.

VsVFR · 05-28-2008, 09:32 AM

K1W1 do you have any pics of the E45? I've been a little torn between getting a top case or not. So I wonder if the E45 is any different than a factory top case or if it is similar. I'll go peruse everyone's gallery pics and see if I can find another E45 to compare to the factories as well.

Vs - sorry I don't have any pics with me right now. It is similar to the factory top case but at $140 delivered, it is a lot cheaper. The E45 can be used as a top case or a side case and is pretty big. I like the space though as I will frequently use my VFR for running errands etc. (so I don't have to use the car). I kept it from the V-strom that I sold and can you believe that the VFR I bought just happen to have a Givi top rack already mounted - perfect!

I had the opposite experience with Corbin regarding the customer relations.

whitesmokeyzf · 05-28-2008, 01:28 PM

This is the E35. Sport touring web site has pics of the different cases.

K1W1 · 05-28-2008, 01:41 PM

If someone is looking for some used red Corbin Beatle bags for a 5-gen - take a look on the Denver CL

nickb · 05-28-2008, 02:26 PM

They look nice, how do they attach to the bike?

I don't have any experience with the Corbin Beetles but there are some instructions on the Corbin website under the Notes section - Link Here

I have the GIVI V35 and my large and XXL HJC Carbon helmets will not fit without putting alot of stress on the hinge area and latch. I do have a AGV Medium that will fit and a Scorpion Medium will fit although tight. If I would have know I would have bought OEM. With these awesome bags empty and my helmet locked with a cable it don't seem right.
