    alu cases on givi racks?????

    hi does anyone know if i can mount alu cases onto my givi tubular side racks? i dont want to do anything i cant change back to, so if i can put alu cases on i still want to have the givi quick mouts on intact incase of resale and such....
    was thinking maybe the mounting brackets you get with alu cases would fit onto the racks like normal and allow me to have some nice alu boxes
    any ideas? thanks

    If you can remove the pins and locking plat then alu cases should be able to fit, but if you have to butcher the rack then NO.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Take a look at these which suggest a sensible alternative to aluminium.
