93 Suzuki rf600r top box and mounting bracket?

Post by Gav »

I've been looking around but i can't seem to find a top box for my bike. I phoned GT motorbikes in plymouth, and they said that neither suzuki or givi list one?

Does anyone have any ideas where i might get one? Ebay has what looks like a mount, but it's ebay so it could be a fuel tank from apollo 13 too.

Cheers in advance :)

I thought Givi do a universal one you bolt to the rear seat or something like that.

Failing that you could mail order a Bandit one and see if that fits as some parts do and some don't. If you buy online you can return for free within 7 weeks for any reason.

I've been down to exeter, spoken to bridge, and they were useless. They didn't even look to see if a top box is available.

About 250 yards up the road, there's another bike shop called SP motorcycles. The guy in their parts dept was much more helpfull, he found a luggage bracket for things like suitcases, and they also list a box to fit on that bracket. He's going to look into it for me, and i've also got a price for them to do my rear tyre. I might have just found myself a garage to look after my bike :)

You'll find plenty of SP fans on here........and plenty of Bridge NOT fans! ;)

Its a shame really, back in the 80's Bridge was the place to go, oh and Bridge Breakers was even better :D , all gone now, that's progress??

Bridge back in their original location was a regular place to have a look around back then.

Having said that, they sold me a duff RG500 that blew up twice and gave me a 450 Custom whilst I waited over a month for one of the repairs.

They also managed to screw up a friends Gpz500 whilst servicing it still under it's original warranty.

I went to SP a while back looking at a Hayabusa. Put me off a bit when I saw the service record for it for the last few years. Looked like every year they serviced it at SP, they used the same ball-point pen. They do last a long time these days. ;-)

On the plus side their prices seemed reasonable.

I was about to post a question asking if anyone has had any dealings with SP Motorcycles in exeter. From what i am reading people seem to be quite positive about these guys. Anyone got any previous experiences with these guys that they'd like to share?
