Nice luggage kit on your FZ8 and that matte paint does look good too "in person". Now you just need to cleanup those mirrors and blinkers
The nice thing about the luggage is that it removes by lock key to leave just a rack, or you can go a step further and remove the mount rack with a hardware key provided. With the rack removed you can't tell the bike supports the hard luggage unless you are looking specifically for the mount points.
Originally I had tried the Givi monorack with V46 top case however with the case removed a large mounting bracket and arms remain that stick out from behind the bike, so it's pretty unsightly even when you aren't using it. Also I found the V35 side cases can hold my 15" laptop, which was the whole reason I thought I needed the V46. However, if you need the space and the V46 is your only option it does have more usable space than the side cases.
As for blinkers, I'll probably work on cleaning up the back end of the bike first, since I won't want to give up the running light functionality in the fronts, and few signals support the running function. I'd like 3 wire plug in LED replacements with running lights, but don't see anything I like. Flush mounted okay so long that I don't have to cut any original parts.
Strangely I'm okay with the mirrors as it almost seems to compliment the raw utility of the bike's look, and they work really well.
