The system cost in the region of ?275 - -speak to JAWS - he is THE man...

I ebayed the GIVI rack and got ?111 for it.

For the math:-
I orginally paid ?360 for Wing 2 plus panniers plus top box - should be about ?700 ish - what I got from ebay from virtually brand spankers....
Bought the new system from Jaws = ?275
Sold Givi rack (and kept boxes) = ?111

So, got a pukka hard-luggage system, that doesn't make the bike look like it has scaffolding round the back for ?525 - not bad I think.... :yo:
