New GIVI quick release rack for 6th gen

GIVI has a new rack available for the 6th gen. It's a quick release rack for use with the PLX cases (V35). It supposed to hug the rear closer than the standard PLX rack. (although I did mod mine a bit to bring things in closer) I can't find any pictures of it yet. Although I leave my cases on all the time I would like a better option of getting them off fast without leaving behind an exposed rack.

Anyone have any additional data on this? I emailed twisted throttle hoping to get more info. I'll probably call GIVI USA on monday.

I purchased the V35 with the quick release system. It is currently in the back order status with a release date of Jan 20/10. I can post photos/mounting directions when I get it.

I've got them on mine. I will run out and snap some pics

This is where i ordered from http://www.sporttour.com/ Check them out. Best prices i could find and free shipping too. Plus the customer service is great. Part of my order was backordered and they offered to next day air it for free if i was in a hurry.

These will work with the top case bracket FZ166. I have that also but it isn't installed in the pics. The PLX-166 is the non removable and the PLX-R-166 is what is pictured below.

This pic is with the brackets (PLX-R) installed. Looks pretty clean

This pic is with the case bracket installed. The black bolt looking things are the mounting points. The PLX-R comes with the tool to attach. Quarter turn on each and they snap in place. Pretty slick.

Rear view of the brackets. The piece below the plate is supposed to be bolted onto the factory plate location. With the fe kit there is no where for it to bolt to. Looking at the factory fender it would not support much weight. I believe this piece is here mainly to have the two cases push against each other.

Rear view with the case on. Sorry about only one case and crappy quality of pic. But with where bike is in the garage its the best i could do.

lol inside of exhaust is shiny cause it only has 800 miles on it. Got it in Dec as a hold over. I would love to ride but putting 2 9 year olds on with me is a problem

We will have to hook up when the roads are a bit less sandy

gpd211, does the piece that ties the two sides together (below the plate) come off when you "quick release" the system?

From those pictures, the cases do not seem to fit closer to the exhausts than my modified version of the PLX rack.

Thanks a lot for posting those pictures. Unless you've had the cases on another motorcycle they seem like a new acquisition for you. After 3 years of owning mine and near daily use I can tell you they hold up very well.

the piece below the plate is supposed to be mounted behind the plate and would remain on the bike with the stock fender. on my bike it comes off and the two tabs in the first pic are all that are on my bike

How does the top connector fit on the seat cowl? From your pics it looks like its attached to the grab handle??

Thanks

Nevermind - found the instructions in another post.....

Does that piece (below the plate) come with the kit? I have a fender eliminator and none of the original factor rear fender stuff. I already have the Givi Monolock E370 mounted and works well but need the V35's and want the removable mounting. If not I will have to fabricate something. Just wondering, Thanks!

[image: Attached Image: IMG_0002.jpg]Hi Guys and Girls,

My GIVI V35 (G730) Side Cases and GIVI PLXR166 Quick Release Mounts just arrived today (10th Sept) straight from Italy ... far cheaper than buying in Australia or the USA.

I saved over AUD $400.00 after the shipping costs .... over the basic black V35 cases and PLX166 mounts ... and these are the more expensive V35 G730 cases and the more expensive
PLXR 166 mounts which would of added another AUD $280.00

I have found the instructions very straight forth and easy to follow, but these are "2008 VFR800 Instructions" and not the 2002-2008 VFR800 Instructions found else where ... maybe GIVI has changed
their instructions after negative comments received prior ??

Took a few inital photo's and will add more once mounted to bike.

Sad isn't it that it's cheaper to buy things O/S on the net than it is to purchase from local Australian distributers. I'd like to buy locally but these days I'm far more likely to purchase off the net than buy at the local dealer!
