    Hi All
    I want to fit a pair of Givi panniers to my 1996 Thunderbird 900, the 36Litre would be my choice although I am prepared to go smaller if the 36L don't fit properly. I've bought a so called fitting kit to suit my bike and a pair of Givi Monokey wings from a seller on Ebay, he and I are struggling to find an instruction sheet to help with the fitting, there are multiple holes in the wings and 3 brackets which in theory hold the wings rigid in the optimum position. I am guessing the rear indicators will probably need either replacing or re-positioning but I struggling to fit all the components on my bike.
    Has anyone else successfully fitted Givi panniers to their Thunderbird 900, if so a few photos of the fitting kit fitted to the bike would be fantastic, if there's an instruction sheet I could get a copy of that would be even better. Thanks for the help in advance.

    I didn't fit givi's but I did fit krausers. I used a rentec rack and attached most of the pannier fittings to it . The exception being the one stay per side to the pillion footrest mounting bolt .
