XTreme Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I think you've got to remove the grab handles with the Givi haven't you? That's why I went for Shad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't any on the CB500F mate. I went for the Givi as it is big enough to hold my lid so I haven't got to cart it around at choir or work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All true, but at least I can just take it off easily when not commuting, only have to press the button. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the F was built down to a price where practically everything was an extra. The X has quite a bit more standard kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that price they can do one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
