At last they're fitted so as requested some photo's.

Thanks Caveman, all sorted in the end and I love them to bits .



Sunny morning so went for play down local track.











Givi Racks.
Alpos boxes from Caveman.
Touratech mounting kits.
home made re-enforcers.

Just need to find time and weather for a camp.

Nice setup Ian!

Cheap and capable bins. I think the Motech mounts have the bins too high, but the givi mount seems to work well

Nice boxes Ian.
I'll have to pop over, and have a proper look

They're not as good as TT bins, don't seem as strong but they are half price, so I can wear out four for the same cash.

Caveman does sell mounts for the Givi racks but was out of stock, so he ordered TT one's which work fine.
I fitted the internal braces so that the mounts would fail, not rip out the side's of the box in an accident.

Still looking at fitting a rear brace on the Givi racks as I think they will flex when fully loaded.

Hi Ian, I don't know how much you had in them on Sunday but they did 'wobble' a bit while you were travelling. Not a lot, but perhaps enough over a long time to crack something. The right one seemed to move a bit more than the left.

Perhaps you could use a bit more of your gaffer tape to fasten them on - only joking!!

TA! Sheldon

Will order an extra roll from Screwfix

Good to know they were moving, not much in them though.
