What color Givi top case for Italia?

Post by sbebenelli »

I'm going to get a Givi E30 top case for my Italia. I can't decide if I should go with the gloss silver top with satin black bottom or the satin black. I'm colored blind and not the best at color matching.

Would like other opinions. Thanks!!

For stock SI colors, the silver is great. Unfortunately, I've gone the route of brown seat and grips, so the silver won't look as good on mine.

Yeah, I gotta go with silver too. And normally I'm a fan of black.

How much more is it for the painted? I remember to go from satin to painted black was over $100 i thought. For that money you could paint it to match.

I just installed my Givi e370 top case kinda big, but I want the room, am going to have it painted to match my pamplona 150. all I could find in stock was the black with silver gloss top, so I got it gonna paint it any way. wonder if I can paint it my self (finding matching colors) or have it done professionally

It can't be that big I have a Givi Flow/E350 which is just about the perfect size.

Thanks everyone. I just found out from HelmetHead Cycle Gear that the silver is no longer available. I'm going with the black and get it painted.
