Guest Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Guys.....I got to play with a torch and a grinder!! A friend of mine lent me a hand and we forged a steel adapter plate so that I could use my Givi topcase with the OEM rack. This was my first attempt at metal-working, so go light on me! Many thanks to all of you for the suggestions as well! this is cool. is the plate in the top right pic? i want to make one too but does it need to be a perfect shape like yours or can it simply be a rectangular plate? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNBarrett Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Thanks for the link! I'll get back to you on the bags ... they're a great deal - just not sure I can scrounge the cake needed for them right now. I also want to check the weight vs. the Givi racks.
