Givi pannier racks for the '88 TA

[Titch]

I've been trying to find a set of panniers to go on my Alp, and today thought I'd ring Honda (Hunts Honda in Manchester), and see what they say. When asking the guy in the parts dept, he told me that Givi dont do the racks for any Alp below a '94 model, and when I asked him why he just said " cos they changed between '93 & '94 ", and when I asked how they changed he just said, "they just did, and you can't fit panniers to an Alp '93 or below"....

Can anyone assist me with this...? as he did say that the Givi racks for the '94 Alp are just under £100, so was wondering... how did the models change so dramatically between '93 and '94 so that panniers could now be fitted...? and if I were to buy the racks for the '94 model, would they fit onto my '88 Alp? if not directly.. could they be 'Bodged' to fit...?

Thanks

I got some for my 92 Alp from either Bikebitz(?) or busters......

Whichever it was showed the wrong illustration on their page. I checked on the phone...£80 or so.....
