if you can add a givi plate, why would you remove it to add a givi rack to put a plate on???Well there's a number of options to choose from. Here a link for just a couple. You can add a backrest with a larger plate to carry thing on as well as a mounting plate for a Givi Topcase. Look in the forum classified section and you can find some other great options. Like the hand made Racks by the forums very own fabricator / painter named Garauld.

Happy hunting! :yahoo:
Givi's plate doesn't fit the stock rack, although there are a few 3rd-party plates which adapt the stock rack to Givi boxes. Mainly, the Givi rack is stronger, being steel instead of plastic, reflected in the stated weight limits: Yamaha states 7 pounds for their case on the stock rack, Givi states 13 pounds for their cases with their rack.if you can add a givi plate, why would you remove it to add a givi rack to put a plate on???
The original rack is eye candy! I use a homemade 1/4" welded plate aluminum rack 12" x 16" and it ain't sexy!Thanks Wfooshee for an excellent description of the Givi and the extra caution about overloading. Man I'm glad they don't make naked FJR's though.![]()
Asides from thet, I don't be usin' noe rack atal upon my FJR no more. Kindy meks it a mute korshen fer me.The Givi Topcase needs a mounting plate secured to the bike. Then it has a quick release to pull it off and take it with you when you need to.
Oh and just ignore that Gen1 guy![]()
Thanks all, especially Wfooshee. It makes sense to me now.
Garaulds rack will take 50 easy. The sub-frame it's mounted to will not. Well, at least not for long.I realize this is an old thread, but what is a good number for a weight lmit with Garauld's rack? I was thinkin' 50 lbs...![]()
