I bought an E460N for a top box ,but having problems getting two helmets in so might go for an E52/55 box and use the E460 as a pannier and get another,not seen any, as panniers but have see them mentioned on the web as so.
Time will tell when the racks show up and i can see how much room i have left.

What size helmets are you trying to fit in there? I know I can just fit 2 small helmets in my shad 43L panniers. With my E52 givi trunk i have no issues fitting a medium hjc and a small shark in there. Then again, I might have slightly more luggage than needed for daily use haha

the 52/55 is a HUGE rack and looks aweful on the kat. i bought a 46 tech and it still looks huge. make sure if you mount full bags on ur kat, that you also either stiffen ur suspension or replace the shock. when i put my full givi kit on, my bike become very light up front, where it felt as if the wheel wasnt even touching the ground.

Update :-

Racks arrived and i noticed the indicators have to be relocated to the rear givi rack arms to clear fitting the panniers.
Will the exsisting wiring reach? ,Or without hacking is or does anyone know of an insert wiring loom to extend the harness?

no I don't of any extension per se...I spliced them and reused the terminal....soldered and used heat shrink tubes, then electrical tape.

Cut and extend the wires was my plan of attack.Then i got a thought that someone might have seen used an extension harnes etc etc....so splicing it is....

Post some pics when you're done, looking forward to seeing it.

This is my K4 GSX750F with the Givi side and top racks. Got the 21litre side boxes on in the pic which I use most of the time but also got a set of 3 Kappa 44litre boxes for touring. MUST adjust the rear suspension when fully loaded as pointed out above.

I just extended the wiring for fitting the indicators.
