I noticed this on ebay but it didn't look like the falco specific Givi racks I've seen before. let us know how you get on with it.

ok

arrived this morning

it is a wingrider 2 givi rack

the plate will therefore not work....

there is no way that it will fit on my falco - i was hoping that i could make it fit but not with my renes effectively being underseat at any rate :)

so - will offer to folks here at the price i paid - 52 quid plus postage

(I will keep the plate.... as i said it will not work anyway! but it may fit on a spare rear cowl that is on its way to me.....)

...... after all the abuse you gave me over my rear-seat topbox mod!!!


Word of warning - it doesn't make it so easy to get on and off .... and you, with your stumpy legs will find it even harder - Tim would have no chance ...

actually return has not been accepted now - seems that some one thinks that I posted here that i had a cunning plan was an attempt to defraud the seller

I have escalated it to ebay
