Anyone tried using the GIVI Universal Wingrack mount on their 1125R? I just got my kit and am preparing to see about installing this. Was hoping someone might have tried this and could show some pics of what they did for inspiration.

This was my winter project. Its a wingrack 2, with some small givi sidebags and an e230 top case. Just used some steel and bent it with a pipe bender. Took a few tries to get it right, but it worked out ok. I've had a few test drives and no problems. Nice thing is that it comes completely off with just 4 bolts.If your interested I can send out some more pics.

Actually, I just finished installing the Universal mount with the GIVI Wingrack. Going to work on getting pictures to put up later. What did you do with your turn signals with that setup?

My signals have been removed and I put small LEDs in the license plate holes. This pic is with the rack removed.

What model of the GIVI Sidebags did you go with? Is the one you went with waterproof? Does it lock not only to the rack, but itself as well?

Dnussey - how hard is it taking the rack off? I mean, going from fully loaded up for a long ride/touring to no bags at all
