Have you got the fitting kit?
If not have a look at Givi's site which shows piccies.

You could probably fabricate something, but might be easier just to buy the kit.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

hi
yes i have the kit which is 2 long bars with a bracket on either side and the rack fits to the top.
i was told they go inside the seat fairing but i cant seem to find were they bolt onto.

The front of the arms fit to the rear Exhaust/Rear footpeg hanger bolt (use the supplied spacer on the front bolt to even them up) and the rear attaches to the supplied hanging brackets (these fit to the sub-chassis at the rear via a U-Clamp). I'm not sure I still have the supplied fitting instructions/diagram but I'll have a look and scan it in if I do.

I bought one from one of the guys on here and if you are still stuck, lets know and I'll get Dave to put mine on and take some pics for ya :-) It was a bit of a bugger at first, but then he cracked it (as per) so lets know if you still need the pics.

thanks folks
finally got the bloody thing on. it took nearly 3 hours and several attempts.
1 problem i had is the indicators. i have the 1s that look like an egg cut in half and had to refit them above the number plate. it looks like 2 eyes looking at you from the back now.... didnt want to go back to standard 1s.
all i need now is a box....if theres any going cheap on here.
