Was a right faff!
Took hours trying to find the info on what rack system would allow a Givi monokey top case. I want be able to remove the topcase and have a decent rack to use to put camping stuff on etc.
SW Motech came to the rescue at a price mind!
And eventually got it all fitted. And yes it works case comes off easy along with the base plate to leave a good platform with plenty of gaps and places to tie down stuff.
Bought LED rear light strip it incorporates indicators. Was hoping to do away with rear number plate assembly but there's a ton of metal under it, so need to rethink things.
I have found a picture of a metal plate that bolts to underside of seat frame with a lip on to fix the LED light strip so will probably make one, if I can remove mudguard and brackets, was hoping to retain rear rack would be handy for two up trips for over nighters!
Front indicators will be replaced with small LED'S and headlight I'd like a Bates style but in black !
Ride out in the autumn sun, home thru Alton- Lasham- Basingstoke and back again!
Great ride about 70 mile round trip great bends and great scenery! I've done this ride before but went onto Hartley Wintney.
No issues last time was on the solid wood seat!!!!! But this time comfort of the gel pads!
Thoughts: I'm thinking of swapping back to the FT bars mainly because I prefer the look! If a swap them out sometime this week I'll get a few more rides before weather stops it. Just make sure I need the higher ones or not. Part of me wonders if it was just the nerves of new bike etc that made me tens up!
