You simply remove the bag, fuel up, and put it back on again.Steve H. said:How do you access it with the side bags mounted? Never seen a picture of how that works.
I bought a used set and have a question. Do you have to push down on the fuel door when opening to keep it from hitting the latch tab on the side case mounts? When I installed them on my bike I have to.needtoride62 said:I too use kiwi dave's side case mounts for GIVI.
I find that removing the case to access the fuel filler is not a big deal at all.
With properly installed case mounts, the fuel door should swing open without hitting anything.MJR said:I bought a used set and have a question.

Dave's setup is pretty basic, spacers at the top, remove reflector at the bottom. At the top of the fuel door is where it hits the side case latching tab unless door in pushed down while opening.LeDude said:With properly installed case mounts, the fuel door should swing open without hitting anything.MJR said:I bought a used set and have a question.

you can add a small washer at the top where they connect to the handlebar to compensate for that.
Try removing the fuel door and reinstalling it, just two small bolts... could do the trick.MJR said:Dave's setup is pretty basic, spacers at the top, remove reflector at the bottom. At the top of the fuel door is where it hits the side case latching tab unless door in pushed down while opening.
Already played with the spacers, no change, fuel door already looks too low. Per chance it you latch tab bent up at the outside? It looks like 1/8" to 3/16" of an inch or so is what it would take to clear. Nice fuel cap!LeDude said:Try removing the fuel door and reinstalling it, just two small bolts... could do the trick.
you can shave a bit off the provided spacers to gain additional clearance at the top.
that's my little filler up helper, the white PVC pipe connector.MJR said:Already played with the spacers, no change, fuel door already looks too low. Per chance it you latch tab bent up at the outside? It looks like 1/8" to 3/16" of an inch or so is what it would take to clear. Nice fuel cap!
Thought so just made it look like a little better than a sock in the filler. :lol: A home built version of this http://www.mccuff.com/. I just hold the nozzle and vapor boot (a California thing) back by hand.LeDude said:that's my little filler up helper, the white PVC pipe connector.
Handlebars? I assume the person I bought them off on eBay used them. I don't have any side bags yet but I just ordered a set of the Kappa K21N's (same as the Givi E21 so I've read somewhere) for $153 shipped so I'll be trying them out when I get them.LeDude said:Have the handlebars ever been removed and reinstalled, could be a slight adjustment in the way they were seated, I know there is a bit of wiggle room there.
