Yes the base plate on the bag is adjustable. It's currently set to position the bag as far forward as it can, so that leaves around 4" of adjustment to move it back. Incidentally givi don't list the tanklock ring for the V11, however the ring is the same as a triumph tiger 1050 and speed triple.

Pics as promised

Hi, yes part no. xs307. It's fairly compact, but is ideal for everyday use. I'll post some pictures tommorow.

I'm away with work at the moment, but should be back Thursday so,I'll add the pictures then.

The standard hugger works ok, however given its size it could be a lot better. I recently removed it and there was lots of crud trapped between the hugger and the swinging arm, which has chafed and marked the paintwork. My rd350lc has a similar set up at the rear and has a traditional mudguard which is very effective so I'd like to either find a way of replicating that or a more usual type of hugger. Either way would "lighten" the rear end and prevent hidden corrosion of the swinging arm.

Nothing, I'd just prefer to "open" up the rear end. Also the original for all its size isn't particularly effective.

Hi, does anyone know of a rear hugger that will replace the original item, either a bespoke replacement or one from another bike that can be modified to fit.

Hello! I'm just outside Evesham.

I know this discussion has been ongoing for some time but I'm new on here.........I made an aluminium "horseshoe" to fit under the givi tanklock ring which together with suitable bolts raises it up enough to clear the tank pad while still giving the bag a solid base to fit onto.( my bike is a 2002 lemans). I use a givi xstream 15ltr bag which sits great on the ring and is big enough for a day trip or even an overnighter if you travel light. A small amount of fettling was required on the ring to allow the petrol flap to open but otherwise it was fairly straightforward. The bag is very secure and does not restrict movement or view to the instruments. I can supply pictures if anyone wants them.

Thanks, after posting I did indeed broaden my search to include Ducati and I got one for around £10. Many thanks anyway. Luckily I only needed the lever part so I've retained my original gold span adjuster.

Hi, I've had an unfortunate incident with a paddock stand and as a result require a front brake lever. I would like an original item with the gold span adjuster, however they are proving difficult to find. Plenty of pattern parts but I'd prefer original. Any ideas would be gratefully received. Bike is a 2002 lemans.
