Re: Top rack installation



Hello ,
I've had no problem at all with the top rack,But you do not have to change
the mountingplate.
Just put on the second spare nuts, and tighten securly.
I've had over 13 kgs in a 45 l Givi and my wife hanging against it, no
problem at all, now  done over 5000 Kms with it .

good luck,
Johnny Gebruers.
