Hello everyone. I have seen pics of the xciting 500 with a luggage bag between the glove box and the seat. Does anyone know the brand or website or model number of one that would fit our machines? I have a 2009 x500 and thought that looked pretty cool!

I have a Givi T435 tunnel bag: (http://imageshack.us/a/img89/4492/1003720.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/89/1003720.jpg/)

Cycle Gear has a clone of that givi tunnel bag 30 bucks right now. www.cyclegear.com (http://www.cyclegear.com)

Can you do better with your link. I searched every bag in cycle gear that was under $50 but came up empty. I will order it as soon as I find it.
Thanks for the help.

I can't find it either? Do u have manufacturers name? Part #? :'( :-*

I can't find it either. Cyclegears' house brand is "Bilt", I believe. There's a Cyclegear store more-or-less local to me which I stop at periodically and they carry a lot of the "Bilt" stuff (I'll have to stop at the local store some evening and look). I'm wondering if they call it something other than a tunnel bag, but running through their luggage inventory did not yield anything similar either. I like having a Cyclegear retail store here as I find that glove and boot sizes vary horrendously between manufacturers (and sometimes even within the same brand) and it saves me money to be able to try stuff like gloves or boots on before buying.

Big Orange. Got a part #? :'( :-*
-
I have sent Big Orange a direct message asking the question. If he answers I will post what I find here.

I found this one by Shad;

I got a reply. Here it is:
Michael,
This is the one I have. It is a little big. It works and I like it.

The problem is that it is not a clone of the Givi. If it was I would have ordered it already. Oh well, I am going to look at the one mentioned in the above message.

This one seems much better than the Cycle Gear one. I may buy it today.
Thanks MotoRandy.

I'm not sure if that would actually work on my Xciting 500. :-\
Does someone actually have it on their ride? I would like to see photo's and such...and how did you attach it?
Now a little off topic but I recently added a EMGO Top case on my ride. A review of it is here: http://www.2smallerwheels.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-review-of-emgo-travel-trunk.html (http://www.2smallerwheels.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-review-of-emgo-travel-trunk.html)

That place is in Spain, I never ordered from them so buyer beware. I had one from Aprilia
and Givi makes them too. I think that is a new thing from Shad, hopefully they will be
selling them in the US soon!
-
The Shad bag looks pretty good. I bought the cycle gear bag because I live in a town with a cycle gear and it works for my needs. It might not be a perfect fit. I think it has a slightly larger capacity than the shad. It is not water proof.
I have a 45l monolock and the built expander bag. I can carry a ton of stuff. I cant make the picture small enough to upload. When I can I will upload the expander bag.

There are a few options on Ebay;

You want luggage ... I got your luggage right here!

Sorry I haven't kept up with all of you. I never did post the particulars, but still have them if anyone is still interested after all this time.
Health changes and my small business have been my primary concerns ... but I still ride every chance I get ... including grocery shopping. I even have a Cruser bike trailer that I've rigged to my 500 Ri. Cops haven't stopped my yet!

As some time has passed since this home grown side case frame solution-is there a factory made side case frame available for Givi or Shad for any Kymco scoot? Or any other brand? On long trips I live out of my top case & side cases. I also carry a Roadgear brand Cordura bag(very good stuff!) on the pillion seat and a Wunderlich magnetic tank bag. I have been surfing the web for a couple months and seen not much for scoot side case solutions. They are common as dirt on MC's & some of these scoots are sold for touring-I know how to travel light but the under seat storage doesn't match up to what I'm used to.

Of course, i.e. from Kymco itself for Givi cases:

Send an email to that German company and see if they export to the US yet. I'll be surprised if the answer is yes.
-
The answer is no. They probably must not, because they are only importers for Europe.
But at least you know such luggage parts do exist and can ask Kymco USA or Taiwan.

Roadgear sells MC gear & bags & I use their larger bag on longer trips-it comes with made on bungee's ending in strong plastic hooks that I fasten to bungee loops placed (Aerostitch)on my BMW OEM sidecases as attachment points. I never use the rain cover as they take elements very well and are super strong too. It's possiblr their smaller bag will fit the "tunnel" on a scoot quite well?
Nice to see the Germans have their head on straight & building a side case frame for a scoot being advertised as a tourer. Likes been said, "it's about time"! It appears to be a clean & easy design too.

Bumping a really old thread, but

I am in Canada and I was able to import the OEM German racks from another retailer. I can't quite remember if I did anything special, I might have just gone through their normal storefront with a little help from Google Translate. My local dealership who is the Canadian Kymco distributor was not able to get the racks from any of his sources.
I thought I posted about the racks on this forum but I can't find anything, although I was almost certain at least one or two others on this board had them. I posted on a local forum here (http://www.vancouverscootering.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2252#p7731) but for convenience here is the link I used for purchase:

I really like them and lately I have been using hard side cases almost every time I ride. Certainly being extremely troublesome to obtain helps them make your bike one-of-a-kind in your city :)
