Tank protector from Geelong Carboncraft. It's expensive but well worth the money as far as I'm concerned. That part is already on the way.Good for you. It's like bringing home a baby from the hospital...almost.
It's hard to believe the stock exhaust doesn't interfere/heat the bags.
Black is worth the cost to get 2015.
What's on the mod wish list?
That's actually a REALLY good idea.Now powder-coat those mufflers black and you'll be in full stealth mode. Love the black.
I ordered the luggage with this bike from the dealer and this is the kit they gave me. Until now, I thought this was the OEM luggage being provided with the 2015 bike.I've had a 2015 model since early November. The black-on-black color scheme is very good. But I'm wondering why you didn't go with the factory saddlebags instead of GIVI?
I ordered the OEM 28-liter panniers the day I took delivery of the bike and I'm still waiting on Kawasaki to ship the color-matched version for this bike. They're supposed to arrive the first week in January.
Nah, I'd say stick a set of Yoshi carbon fiber R-77 mufflers on the wish list, they would look way better! I've got a set kind of on order and can't wait to bolt them on!Now powder-coat those mufflers black and you'll be in full stealth mode. Love the black.
The R-77's would be really nice but I like the way the stock mufflers look and sound and the powder coat would be a LOT cheaper than slip-ons.Nah, I'd say stick a set of Yoshi carbon fiber R-77 mufflers on the wish list, they would look way better!

I have to agree the black on black with green accents looks really good.
Oh BTW, on the subject of screens - I've fitted a V-Nation smoked sport screen and has been great on mine!
The more I look at these bags compared to the "OEM" bags, the more I like these better. They just fit the bike better IMO. The OEM bags seem a little too big but I must admit that I like the option of being able to fit my helmet in the luggage (which I cannot do with the bags I have now).From the photo you posted, I can see the Kawasaki label on the bags. They are made by GIVI for Kawasaki. There is a lot to like about these bags. I have a riding buddy with a 2011 N1K that has these same bags and the work great. Look good, too.
For 2014 and later, there is a different bag available. The down side is that it's smaller (only 28 liters) and you can't put a top case on the bike with the new bags. With yours, there is a GIVI top case that matches the design of your bags ...if you're into that much storage. I have a GIVI top case on my ST1300, but that bike is for loooonnnnngggg distance, multi-week rides. I don't see me getting a top case for the N1K.
They are Givi V35 bags.The more I look at these bags compared to the "OEM" bags, the more I like these better. They just fit the bike better IMO.

Right now, I'm trying to find the exact model of my bags so I can get a set to quick-release racks to replace the ones I got with the bike.
