ScottM Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Rumor has it that my long awaited RT will arrive this week. I'd like to put a Givi v46 on the tail, mostly based on comments on this board. The bike is the lighter grey (silver). Does anyone know if the Givi silver is a decent match for the RT? This board has been extremely helpful to me in everything from selecting a dealer to learning a ton about a bike I have only riden once. Thanks. Scott Link to comment
ChrisA Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I've not see the Graphite color in person, but based on pictures I'd say the Givi will be considerably lighter. The Givi silver is more closely matched to the silver of my engine spoiler. Is your engine spoiler black or silver? Link to comment
R1100RT_Ray Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I have a Graphite R1100RT. At Daytona bike week I bought the gray GIVI v46 for my wife's 2005 HD Road King Police bike. The color isn't very close to the color of my RT or, for that matter, it doesn't match the Harley. If she doesn't like it I'll move it to the RT. It holds a lot more than my BMW top case. The great thing about buying it at a bike show is that they do free installation. Link to comment
ScottM Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Thanks. I think black will be the way to go. Scott Link to comment

Scott Scott, Here's a photo of my new RT with the Hepco & Becker topcase. It's about the same price as the Givi, and comes in black or black and silver (shown). I have only one quibble: I don't like having to use the key for opening and closing the latch. John Link to comment
