Re: [ST] Anyone mount a GIVI topbox?

[Brian Mathis <bpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been looking at doing the same thing. Sounds to me like what is 
needed is the A9500012 kit. Problem is that I can't seem to find anyone 
who has any of them. Team Triumph thinks it's likely that part has been 
discontinued - but he's checking on it for me (as is Jack Lilley). Does 
anyone have any other ideas as to where I might be able to find the kit? 
Anyone have one that they don't need or want and would consider selling?

Is there a way via some other part # combinations to effectively make a 
A9500012?

Thanks in advance,
Brian
