finally got a 1150GSA top box!!!!

Right, got one finally!

Epic journey but sorted.

Has anyone got the instructions on how to fit the carrier to the tail, as I only have the instructions for box mounting, not how to fix it to the tail.

Still looking but just cant find any info!

If anyone can help I would be very grateful - i have tried to attach pics but the manage attachments button isnt working AGAIN - fitting tonight hopefully!!

Now edited Post#2, because I found the length of spacers needed, because they are different

No assembly/fitting instructions needed, when you offer up the carrier to the rack, all will become apparent......... unless you're a mechanical numpty

Easy to fit

this is what i have...

got the pics to work

i wondered what the clamp parts are - the guy said it was adapted a bit for an 800

everything looks ok though

I see, the bolts are simply longer then, and run thorugh the original tail metalwork holes, securing through - excellent - all makes sense

Pic 2, those black brackets are incorrect for a 1150GSA rack and looks like someone has fitted it previously to some sort of tubular rack with those brackets

EDIT........beat me to it
