Givi rack installed

[Lance]

Installed my new Givi rack today, pretty easy and it is nicely finished.
Just waiting for the case.

Nice one Lance.
Looks great, and hardly impairs the lines of the scooter.
The quality of the Givi kit is really superb isn't it?

What top box will you be fitting on it? I've fitted the same rack on my C600 and with the E52 litre box, the back end of the seat fouls on the front edge of the top box while fitted. Just wondered if yours does the same?

Cheers, Hilton

Ya I was worried it would look stuck on like some of the cheaper racks but I think it blends in ok, I ordered the Kappa K49 I'll post up when it comes in probably Monday.

I've just fitted the SRA5105 for my C600, and with the Givi V47NT box there is a good 5mm of clearance between the seat and the box.

I might add that it was an absolute fluke - I did not research this before hand!

Cheers SR50,
Neither did I research it - I just assumed that Givi would have done it on my behalf first

The seat does open/shut but I have to push/lever the box back with a small amount of pressure with my thumb to get let the seat clear it.
I could just pull it up/down past it, but this will inevitably wear a hole in the tip of the seat.

More of an irritation really - particularly as the rack & box are such top quality.

Kappa 49 arrived today.
Quality seems ok and the fit to the monokey rack is tight, for my purpose its fine and quite a bit cheaper than the Givi.
Clears the seat by about an inch or so. It also has a good bear count.
