OK, i tracked down the article someone had shown a fwe pics from.
Givi apparently is launching some new items for the 1100.

I've emailed Givi about the 696 and they gave me a part number for their arm-brackets (the part supporting the hard bag in the pick.. Monorack arms 780FZ
here is the link to the complete Givi products for the 696/1100

oh btw. reason i emailed them is that the giviusa site doesn't list the 696/1100. i didn't find out the italian site did til later.
I'd want to see a pic from the rear as with the under seat silencers will make the bike very wide. My VFR suffered the same problem and the the 1100 is even wider at the silencers.
i gotta say i kinda like it!
Anyone else notice the windscreen? Is this from Givi as well? I'm intrigued and always looking for something new.
Edit: I'm a dumbass. I just checked out the link. [laugh]
i saw that too. i'm thinking about going to check out sport touring screens and a way to adapt one for long touring protection. i was check out tucky rocky the other day for some, but i really want to go to a shop and try some on.
That windscreen is actually a pretty good looking one and it seems that it might be doing the job as well.
FYI- not avail in the US yet.
(just in case none of you guys called on them)

Does the RADAR go in the tail bag (Wow that is TALL)

those side bags look good though!!!!!
Does anyone know if the tailcase can be mounted when you've got the DP short tail ?
With the short tail the turn signal indicators are relocated a little more to the front of the bike so I'm guessing the brackets for the tail case won't fit anymore.
thats the first time ive seen a side view of the screen looks good from the side
but looks like a disaster from the front!

Imagine how large the tail case would look if they had not shot it with a white backdrop, I bet in person it looks even bigger than the marketing photos.
i don't think i've ever seen a tail bag that ever enhanced the looks of a bike ever. tailbags always look horrible no matter how small they are.
but damn after putting one on the monster, its probably the most convenient and useful add on i have ever put on the bike. Tailbags are awesome for their usefulness for everyday commuting and such.
