Being Mr. Generic (tight arse) I had to figure out how to attach a Givi E300N2 30 litre top case to the existing BMW rack on my golden steed. The case was found randomly off the shelf at an accessories supermarket for AU$130.00. The supplied mounting hardware was never going to work, so rather than wait for the Monolock plate, struts and backrest specific to the task and probably fork out double what the case was worth, I decided to use five stainless steel cable ties using the appropriate ratchet gun to fix the universal plate to the BMW rack. I then visited the local Harley Heaven and bought a genuine Harley Davidson backrest (AU$64.00) and used 3M Dual Lock tape to secure it to the Givi case. The tether straps that came with the back rest are used to save the backrest if it falls off. |

Very resourceful. Looks like the backrest positioning doesn't crowd the passenger space either |

Zitat von Alda im Beitrag #4 If the SS Cable Ties are good and tight with some high friction material (i.e. rubber) at the contact points between the luggage rack and the adapter plate, it should be pretty secure.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #7Zitat von Alda im Beitrag #4 At only 30liters, it's a fairly small box.
