Please don't be misled by the registration plate - I am NOT an undercover GIVI employee 
.
I was looking for a way to permanently transport a pair of disc locks on my GS and as they wouldn't fit under the saddle, I ended up splashing out £40-odd on this three-piece, under saddle bag set from Givi. There weren't many useful photos of it on the Internet, so I wasn't sure just how bulky it would be or how well it might blend in with the bike
. In the end, I discovered that it fitted in extremely snuggly into the gap between the rear light and the parcel rack and is hardly noticeable in day-to-day use 
.
I can't help thinking that some (bored
) designer at Givi must have looked at that gap on the GS and thought to him/herself, either;
a) Hmmm, I could design something to go in that space that would really benefit the average GS rider.
b) Hmmm, I could design something to go in that space that would really benefit my company's profit margin
.
Either way, I like it
!
Incidentally, there's no point to this thread, other than to show fellow GSers what this trio of little bags looks like in 'real life' (as opposed to in the stock shot that appears in every listing for it online), but you are welcome to start a discussion/flame war if you see fit .

) in the outer bags, this is a luggage accessory that could almost have been designed specifically to suit my needs. Expensive for what it is, but then what accessories aren't expensive for these bikes
