[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1023667, member: 3828"] Something just occurred to me about the 2nd Gen SR357 as compared to the first Gen SR346 racks. First off, here is the SR357 metal rack. Note where the three rear bolts mount to the FJR rear subframe. These three mounting points are the same as where the Yamaha OEM trunk mount goes, in the case of the first gens you have to cut holes in the cowling where the two spacers labeled "9" are in this picture. [IMG]https://www.dishers.com/FJR/Givi_sr357.png[/IMG] Now compare that to the SR346 rack for the first gens. The rearmost bolt still goes in about the same location, but the other two rear bolts go considerably further forward on the subframe (the blow-out labeled "13" in the below image. This suggests that the Givi rack may actually be able to support a little more weight with these older style racks than the newest ones that transfer all of their weight further back? Either way, having the steel grab bar arms running in parallel with the over-stressed cast subframe has to be helpful. [IMG]https://home.earthlink.net/~fjr1300/images/SR346.KR346.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
