Hey guys, I recently purchased a top box of ST2UP and it looks great. However, I'm a bit confused on fitting it.
I have read they need a rack of some description, but I'm having difficulty tracking one down. What makes it more difficult is I don't know what exact model the top box is (other than around 50L with givi monokey sticker on the side)
Is there a tried and true DIY way? Any help would be appreciated.

The Givi rack is a generic part for all their topboxes. It is part of their mounting system. There is a specific one for bikes like the ST1100, as I bought one a few years ago. It is a metal rack and quite solid. I think you might be able to fit a generic Givi rack that comes in a nylon material http://www.giviusa.com/Fitment-kits/ (http://www.giviusa.com/Fitment-kits/) (mine is the special rack in aluminium).
If you want to try and make one up, I just happen to have a spare givi metal rack sitting next to the bike, as I am going back to a gearsack system for a while just to decide what I will go with long term. So if you want to borrow it to try and make something up let me know.

STutter if you want to send me a PM we can meet up and I can show you the old plate I have recently taken off to try the Gearsack options again as saaz has done. I may even have a second plate sitting around here somewhere and if you twist my arm enough I may even be coerced to part with it. Will have to find it first but.
I was the first one that arrived at the Xmas party at Sabie's for reference.

Hey Steve, that would be great. Would this weekend be OK to have a look or whatever? Even if I can borrow it to make a dodgy copy, that would be great.

STutter. No probs to collect this weekend brother. Send me a PM and I'll give you the address to collect from, as my bike is in several pieces atm.

Again Tack :|||| What's wrong this time?.. Seems the ST1300 is less problematic...... o:)

Nothing wrong Mick. Just cleaning up and adding a few things to the mix mate. My choice, not a requirement. Something to do on days off when I can't go for a ride and leave the kids at home by themselves. Removes the temptation you see. :crackup
