[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1061316, member: 3828"] No misunderstanding, Mihalis. If you are willing to take the risk of putting more than feather pillows in your trunk, then it is all good. Some other owners don't want to take that risk, and instead call "foul" on Mother Yamaha that the rear casting will crack when they use (or perhaps abuse) it this way. I am only offering an alternate means to that end. Is the Givi rack any less attractive that the stock grab bars? Really? Not to me. But I guess others have differing sensibilities in these regards. What specifically is so "attractive" about the stock rack and trunk? To me, the OEM Yamaha trunk looks really badly. It is an odd shape that doesn't seem to match the lines of the bike well, and doesn't carry nearly enough to boot. I had one, mounted it (including drilling the holes in the rear tail section) and then subsequently got rid of it as fast as I could. But like I said, everyone has their own tastes. Vive la' difference! [/QUOTE]
