vrodguy12 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I have acquired one in decent shape and was looking for the mounting brackets for it specific for the BB anyone have any of these? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDRSK Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Twistedthrottle.com. You will need the motech bracket which you fit on the bike using the rear hand rail bolts. You lose the handrails though. Then you need the plate that you attach onto the bracket on which the givi top case locks in. Make sure you get the right plate depending on whether your top case is a monolock or monokey case. There is a guy on this or the other board who has designed and makes brackets which are cheaper than the motech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrodguy12 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Thanks for the info, I have the box and the plate that it mounts to, just looking for the two bars/arms that attach to the existing bolts where the grab handle is? If you run across the guy making them let me know. Thanks Hank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptxyz Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) if your givi mounting plate is plastic, keep a close eye on the rear latching post. over time, mine wore to the point my box self-jettisoned on the freeway on rainy day... feel the edge where the box latches onto, towards the rear of the mounting plate. if it's starting to round off, consider adding a small bolt through box and mounting plate to keep things secure.

vrodguy12 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Thanks for the tip and all the help guys. I am leaning toward just staying with my Ventura set up. It is tried and true for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptxyz Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 it's a great design, just should be done in metal. nothing like having a lockable trunk! one could buy the mounting lug kits and simply cut out and replace the wear prone plastic post. my through bolt solution, while taking away the ability to press a button to remove the box (i simply go inside the box to remove a nut), has been secure for many years now.

It is tried and true for me. I used the Ventura full setup for years on many long trips. Not having to cover during rain, being able to lock, and other considerations make my GIVI setup way better. YMMV, but I've never looked back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrodguy12 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 I have a rain cover that came with the Ventura, I guess only downside is it doesn't lock but I have nothing but clothes in it so no biggie for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
