Install took a few minutes to measure, check, remeasure and drill the 4 holes, then 2 minutes to bolt on the pad.
Pad looks to be able to withstand the elements pretty well. My son did a quick sit and test on it so far and he likes it which is all I needed it for anyway - LOL.

For reference: Mounted on 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere
Bought the 3-piece set, including the Trekker (E120) Rack for the Top Box.
This set is really well packaged. Quality looks and feel great. Simplicity is an understatement where it came to install these, I had the rack mounted, all 3 boxes attached, Rack and back pad mounted all in under 30 minutes, including reading the pretty detailed but completely necessary instruction sheets.
Have not carried anything heavy in the boxes yet but they feel like they will do the job nicely. The Top Box also will make a great pillion back rest as I did add the padded piece to the box along with the rack to strap even more cargo onto.
RevZilla has these are a great price and actually did match another sites price (I MUCH prefer to buy from RevZilla, even if I did have to pay a few bucks more - but don't tell them that - LOL).
Shipping for all the pieces took only a few business days from ordering and everything was packed nice and secure, I have a growing pile of RevZilla boxes in my Garage!

This bag makes a nice addition to the Trekker boxes.
Material and construction quality looks topnotch. Have not used it to carry anything of substance yet but will report back if I have any issues.

The simplicity of this mount is terrific! I literally had this installed in less than 5 minutes. Have had it mounted now for a few weeks but have not really carried much weight on the yet. They look pretty durable and are mounted pretty tightly to the bike.
Only issue I see that time will tell if it is an issue is the side-2-side cross support goes directly in front of my exhaust outlet, so exhaust is directed directly onto the bar.
Otherwise, great product.

Bought this for my new RX-Q. The anti-fog works well, still get a good amount of fogging around perimeter of lens. Installs easily, vents ok.
My big complaint about this lens is the visual clarity. Looking thru this lens is disappointing at best. Produces a good amount of light glare from oncoming headlights and the visual trueness is not very good. Comparing this to my Nolan N-102 Pin lock and the Arai lens is sub-par, the Nolan is nearly invisible where the Arai is like looking thru a fish bowl.
The anti-fog function works, but visual clarity is not there.

Have these in a size 46. I generally need a wide boot and these fit me very well, with a heavy sock in winter obviously a bit snug but not uncomfortable.
These have not leaked in wet weather and have been great year round though for me they could be a bit warmer in winter so I wouldn't need the thinker socks.
After about 10,000 miles in these boots they are still in really good shape. A bit of sole wear and the side strips that cover the zipper are getting a bit worn, otherwise still got alot of life left.

Givi Monokey Trekker Set Cases
Givi Monokey Trekker Set Cases Available in two versions, with a capacities of 46 LT ( TRK46N) and 33 LT (TRK33N), the new TREKKER bags are the best solution for the bikes equipped with exhaust pipes only on one side. Buy affixing the smaller bag to the side with the exhaust pipe , and the larger on the other, in many cases you can solve the issue of asymmetry (a problem that you might find using traditional side bags). Thanks to special selectors placed inside the bags, you can convert each version to either to fully open the entire lid or only the uppermost smaller opening (very practical for quickly accessing items from the bag, avoiding any ill timed spilling the whole contents). Elaborately trimmed in steel foil, these bags are not necessarily specific to just enduro bikes, they can also be a luxurious accessory on the elegant ones. This peculiar diversity sold in a single unique package, combined with its ability to be used as a top case on the Monokey plates, gives to the customer the opportunity to choose the best combination to mount to the bike in order to suit his/her space needs. Set includes Single 46 liter Trekker Case Dual 33 litre Trekker Cases
Givi Trekker Warranty?
What are the warranty details on the Givi Trekker bags? Being used on an Adv Bike I would suspect they would be prone to easy accidental damage, even a lay-over while stopped would put the weight of the bike on the bags. Would the bags be strong enough to support the weight of a full size bike in a lay-over?

AltRider BMW R1200GS Crash Bars The BMW motor is powerful yet wide, and you want to protect every inch. Wrap that 1200cc gem with our 1 inch stainless crash bars. AltRider set the bar high on this product. Durable and well engineered, the AltRider crash bars are built with precision-manufactured mounts that fit directly into the existing motor mount. Also, integrates well with the AltRider Upper Crash Bars (sold separately), for even more crash coverage. By utilizing the R 1200 GSs robust frame mount and incorporating the existing frame hardware, AltRider designed a quality piece that will protect your motor. Unlike other crash bars, these do not use flanges or weak tabs and are not hung they are actually mounted. Made with a shot peen satin finish means that even when the bike takes a spill, the stainless bars will never show signs of rust. These crash bars deflect the impact from the cylinders and engine case to the strongest parts of the frame. Unlike other manufacturers, our design provides plenty of clearance around the vulnerable left oil line. It also serves double-duty as a boot rest on long rides! Save yourself hassle and frustration and the purchase of a 200 valve cover by installing AltRider crash bars. Take a moment to review the instructions. The reason we mention this here is to make you aware which mount points on the R 1200 GS have strength. Stainless construction fights corrosion and rust Hand TIG welded crash bars are 1 inch diameter for additional strength Manufactured in America Refined satin peen finish Comes with the Torx bit needed for installation Fits 2005-2012 Removal required for valve adjustment Notes Not currently compatible with Two Brothers or Remus header. Also, will work with 2008 and newer GSA, but crash bars will touch the bottom of the tank on the right side.
More AltRider Gear for XT1200Z?
Will you be carrying the full catalog of AltRider gear for the new XT1200Z Super Tenere? I just picked mine up and need to outfit it and would prefer to buy from Revzilla as you are local to me.
Thanks!
