Hi guys

I got my Kappa luggage rack and boxes last week. Got them fitted to the XT and thought I'd post some pics.

I already had a Givi top rack and 50l box but needed to take a lot of clothes and kit to work everyday. Since I use the XT as a workhorse I needed to expand the luggage options.

The Kappa rack is identical to the Givi one (and about 10% cheaper) and the boxes are also similar spec but cheaper.

Side profile of the full set:

Rear profile of the full set:

Front shot of the set (excuse the mufflers but I like to keep my pinkies warm Rolling Eyes

and lastly the racks which although not removeable like the SW motech racks, they don't look too bad left of the bike:

They look really really good, I thought with Givi style side boxes they would dwarf the bike but they dont at all they look as they have always been there....Thanks for posting those pics as I am supposed to be off to France again to visit the inlaws and parker wants to go on the bikes with the children so I would need extra luggage and they look fab... Thank you

You can get the smaller slim boxes if you want something a little more inconspicuous (not sure of the spelling!).

The boxes above fit a lot of gear but state a limit of 10kg each. When I have the three boxes full it makes the front a little flighty but still very rideable around town.

Yes, they look well. The curves match the bike's profile well too. I was wondering about some hard luggage. These might be on my list.

Funny, that. Having ridden bikes through UK winters from age 20 onwards, I never need gloves going outside in the cold. I must have developed brilliant circulation in my fingers. I haven't had cold hands this winter - and that's with 10 years out of the saddle.
