Fitting a Rubber Protection Mat to my Givi 58 Litre Top Box
Vložit

- I recently bought the Bumot luggage system and also found some rubber 'mats' to fit the top box and panniers on eBay and thinking this a good idea, bought all three.
As an indulgence, I also bought the BIG 58 Litre Givi Trekker Outback Top Box and seeing my original Bumot luggage review and rubber mat fitting, the Company, Precision Rubbertech asked if they may send me a mat for the 58L Givi Box. This is the fitting of that mat. They also do mats for many other manufacturer's luggage systems.

Hope you enjoy this video and maybe pick up the mats for your luggage?

Internal pannier matting would be an exceptional addition to their range this eliminating noise and alloy staining!!!
Hi Ger. I’ll pass it on unless Pete sees this 👍🏻
Thanks Nick.. even a less dense polyethylene like some drawer linings😷
Nick I think your wasting your time on CZcams. You should be a hostage negotiator. Your cool, calm and clear delivery is bang on. Great vid mate. 👍
Ha ha. Thanks. I’m not sure people who know me would agree 🤣👍🏻
Super clean look and really compliments the bike! Thanks, I love watching your videos.
Thank you. 👍🏻
Nice video Nick. I have them on my outback panniers and they definitely stop any marking when I carry my camping gear across the rear rack / seat. 👍🇬🇧
Cheers Daz. They performed well on my 2,000 mile UK tour on the Bumot 👍🏻
Nick your vids are both informative and, I can’t believe I’m saying this about sticking down a rubber mat, but also entertaining 👍🏍😁
Thanks Ant. It’s weird as it’s my voice it’s not at all entertaining but as long as subscribers enjoy them that’s good 👍🏻
@@nickhodgeUK Do you have to change the rack for the 2 types of top box each time you change them.
@@tonykisvardai2346 there’s a story behind this box as yet unused. The Bumot (my regular box) has a rack that simply bolts to the BMW framework. The Givi has two sidearms that bolt to the rack under the seat and a top plate that bolts to that and it’s own rack plate. I have fitted the side arms and they remain in the bike all the time (even with the Bumot rack on). If I want to change I have to unbolt the Bumot rack (8 bolts) and fit the Givi rack (8 bolts). So it’s about a 15 minute swap (16 bolts on/off). The real drawback is that with the Givi box on the Bumot lids won’t open by an annoying 5mm!!! You can just tip them off there mount slightly to open but that’s a pain. I’m looking to lift the Givi rack with spacers but that’s for another day. Givi were VERY unhelpful in this regard 👍🏻
@@nickhodgeUK nick you haven’t posted in ages and my husband loves your channel!hope you are ok ?
@@lucywatson9137 Lucy. Thanks for the message I am indeed fine. Combination of lockdown and winter has slowed output. Hope to post a tour one from late 2020 soon. Thanks again and Happy New Year 👍🏻
Good video!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Jorge 👍🏻
Nice one Nick...
Thank you 👍🏻
Just fitted them on my Bumot EVO panniers, great kit but it’s simply adhesive backed rubber matting which can be sourced online. Very easy to fit though and certainly does the job..like you say somewhere to put the glasses😀
They are satisfying to fit though and there’ll be some news for us Bumot owners soon too 👍🏻
Great Video Nick,
I’m going to order from their website now, for my 33l Givi Dolomiti top box.
I’ll be sure to let them know how i found the site 👍
Great Chris. Thanks 👍🏻
Nice clean job, I got the same color bike with a BMW recall!!
A BMW Recall??? Now I’m interested 👍🏻
I just received my front brake letter a few days ago.
Sent a copy of the recall to your email
@@rx72nr ah ok. I read it that you now had the same colour as BMW had recalled your old bike, of a different colour and given you a new one 🤣👍🏻
If there was a recall everytime someone fitted a decal on their BMW the company would be bankrupt 🤐👍
Nick thanks for all the useful videos, which do you prefer, the Givi top or the vario top?
Ha ha. You never mentioned the Bumot one 🤣 (I bought two for the adventure). I loved the Vario system and certainly over the Givi, but I love my Bumot system although on rare pillion outings we do have a helmet to carry 👍🏻
Just about to order one for my new Givi box, as a suggestion how about using a hard wheel wallpaper seam roller on the edges as it allows pressure to be applied without the drag of the cloth?
Yep good plan for sure Paul. Also you could use the backing paper. Just felt it important to seal the edges down 👍🏻
Hi there Nick. Merry Christmas! I am also called Nick and i come from Greece. I am hopefully getting a R1250GSA in the first days of 2021 and i am considering about buying this givi top case. Could you possibly share your experience about the bike's handling and how it is affected by this large box? And how delicate you consider this topcase to be regarding scratches and everyday use? Thank you very much in advance.
Hi Nick. In truth I’ve not really used it. It is on the bike now and huge. Obviously the weight in any of these shouldn’t exceed 10kg anyhow so if you stick with that weight then everything will be similar. The weight is probably lighter than the Bumot I use regularly as it is nowhere near as well built as the Bumot box. Obviously weight low is preferable but with the huge low weight of the boxer engine you have a very good starting point to add weight high up. I don’t think I’ll use it much (mainly as the Bumot pannier lads snag the Givi box)
Nick just came across your great videos, when you use the 58L trekker outback top box can you still access the bumot panniers OK as the lids open from inside to out ?, as I'm thinking of purchasing a GSA and like the fact bumot fits straight to BMW racks but I would like to fit the 58L givi also
Hi Paul. Not quite by about 5mm. Here are your choices
1) release the pannier and tip it slightly of its mount to lift lid (not as bad as it sounds)
2) mount the Givi topbox plate on 10mm spacers to lift it and give clearance. That does lift weight higher which is not ideal
NOTE: I’ve now done 3 week-long single-person trips and not needed it. I pack panniers carefully and put soft stuff in Bumot topbox. That takes a full-size helmet with soft stuff packed around so you can leave it while walking. That Givi is huge when fitted too
Cheers for the info, food for thought about what system to purchase, keep up with the video, I especially like how you try to look at all pros and cons & practicalities of use etc. 👍
hi Nick, can you share some pictures or a video of your ride when fitted with the bumot and givi combo... thx
I’ll look at that Michael and see what I can do. I can confirm the lids of the Bumot panniers JUST won’t open fully with the big Givi box. You either need to remove it or unlatch the pannier and tip it a few millimetres
@@nickhodgeUK thats a bummer! i just wanted to see the look of the huge top case! never considered the fact it would be blocking the bumot side panniers...is it a close call or just impossible? maybe better to go for the bumot topcase instead... i would still love to see it though... we all learn from those fails and i bet some viewers will come up with solutions ;)
@@apoamerica No it's only just. I will take a look at a solution, just really needs a stack of washers (5mm) on each mounting point and it'd lift the box high enough to clear. In crude 'technical' terms it's a 'gnat's cock'
Nick how's it going? Hoping you are doing well!
Yes all good Steve thank you. Hope with you too. Spring approaches and lockdown hopefully nearing an end and motorcycling and more videos incoming 👍🏻
Another great video Nick, but it looks like you've got too much time on your hands, I'm guessing you're lucky to be retired?! Cheers, Nick S Australia.
Your comments drop into the ‘naughty bin’ for some reason. Nope, not retired but have just enough customers to give me days off here and there
@@nickhodgeUK ha ha, that's what my wife says! Great panniers, I may go with those. Had a great offer of new BMW panniers (slight scratches) for $1000 (including inner bags) from the dealer, until they dropped the bombshell that they didn't include locks - another $500!!! Keep up the great work mate. Nick S.
Hey Nick have you fitted a tft screen anti theft device yet?
No I’ve not. Is that a thing?? I’ve got the factory alarm, g-shock enabled on cameras and a tracker fitted. Hopefully something would trigger a warning??
Basically Nick mr thief comes along and pulls the tft off easily cause it’s only attached by three pins. A frame can be bought which attaches under tge screen to prevent it being pulled off
@@oswold100 mmmm. What’s he going to do with it? I could see him/her nicking my gopros. It’s so tucked away I can’t see it being smashed in a crash easily. I guess if you have a >2016 GS1200 with analogue clocks??? I’m going to take a look now though of course 👍🏻
Nick hi, is it possible to check your emails? Have sent one few days back (at the address included in your channel). Thank you in advance.
I don’t use that email generally as it fills with spam. Have you deleted all the connections in your TFT and then reset the TFT via Settings> Reset. The last option in the menu. That worked for me although it does reset the TFT to factory defaults (which may need redoing as you want). Then re-pair phone and helmet 👍🏻
@@nickhodgeUK thnks for the reply. Im not sure if i have done this....and by saying factory reset, it means that all data will be delted? Also it means that i have to do my user settings from the begining?
I believe this will not delete bike's history, distance .ade etc.....which please confirm.
@@thebeast3630 only the settings in tft. Most if you use metric units will be fine
@@nickhodgeUK so i suppose your advise is to do this....i will give a shot....
In case where this will not work? Any idea what to do?
I don't see the purpose of these.
Hi Paul. Two-fold. Stops damage to box tops from items strapped to it and then to offer an interference surface to stop items slipping around 👍🏻
Nine minutes boring
Thanks Ricardo 🤣👍🏻
