Givi Rack - saved from the vultures

#1 Post by DavShill » Thu Dec 10, 2009 12:35 pm

Just paid £40 "buy it now" for a Falco specific GIVI rack on flea-bay. I thought about watching and waiting but I've been looking for one of these for over a year and I didn't want to risk loosing it to vultures and snipers for the sake of a £10 or £15.

Givi stopped production of the Falco rack a few years ago despite some retailers still listing it. So..... sorry if you were watching it.... it's mine :smt003

Nice one Dave, totally agree with your actions, if you really want something you have to go for it!
Not worth missing out for a few quid, or you'll always regret it!

Nice one Dave - a bargain at that price !

I've just had a look at the ebay listing (located in Durham) - looks good

Oh bugger! missed that one. Need a rack for mine too. If you find, for some mad reason, that you want rid of it let me know, I'm only down the road from you.

Paganman - which bit of North Yorks are you? Must be easy for us to meet up somewhere.

Rack arrived yesterday. very pleased - in good clean condition with the M35 alu Monokey plate. Will manage with my soft luggage and tailpack until I can pick up a top box at a reasonable price.

Paganman - will be in touch when the weather is better and we'll meet up.
