GIVI FRAME SLIDERS

unclip from the ring to be used separately—an added feature.

I like the feel of these bungees and appreciate how they don’t leave marks on my paint the way the elastic cord-type bungees have.

The company’s products come in varying colors. I opted for Safety Orange because extra visibility doesn’t hurt. They sell bungees in many sizes and styles for varying prices. The Adjust-A-Strap retails for $7.99, while the Flex-Web cargo net sells for $36.99. All products have a lifetime warranty. For more information visit their website at www.theperfectbungee.com.

WHEN YOU NEED SOME EXTRA HELP—A BUNGEE BUDDY

So, you have your luggage, your bungees, but…how to safely strap them to your bike?

Some motorcycles don’t offer adequate attachment points for luggage or bungees, but the Bungee Buddy system offers a remedy for that problem.

Simply, the Bungee Buddy is a set of four stainless steel studs, nuts, and washers with a heavy-duty plastic loop attached to the stud. You screw these into places on your motorcycle to provide tie-down points you might be missing. I installed two on the top of my license plate holder in the back of the bike and voila…now I have a place to connect bungee cord ends, without worrying whether they will slip out or damage my bike’s paint. For $12.95 at various motorcycle online stores, they have resolved many motorcycle luggage attachment issues for me. ,

When we acquired the new Kawasaki Z900RS we wanted to keep the farkling and accessories to a minimum. But we still wanted some decent protection for the engine and machine.

Givi, once again, had a stylish and workable solution.

GIVI Frame sliders are made in polymer, reinforced in Fiberglass, with CNC-made anodized aluminum insert. Color options include black, green, red and silver and retail for $99.

The sliders installed in 15 minutes and look like they came with the Z900. Every motorcycle is different so a separate tting kit is sold separately. You can see if your bike is on the list - located in the bike speci c section if available for your model.
