Fitting a givi box

[AdieL]

I have a Givi Maxia E52 box that I would like to fit to my 1200gs.According to Givi the only rack they provide is one where you need to remove the plastic bmw rack which comes fitted to the bike.I have seen other bikes where a Givi box is fitted where the rack is fastened to the bmw rack in a similar way to the how the vario box is fitted.BMW say that this is not a bmw part. Can anyone tell me where I can get hold of this rack? Many thanks.

The one available from Givi now is the new design which replaces the OE BMW rack. The one which fitted on top of the OE rack was the old design which, I believe, is no longer available.

If you really, really want the older design I happen to have one that's never been fitted and I'd been thinking of getting one of the new ones. So, if you'd like to buy one of the new design we could do a swap......

Many thanks for answering that one, I was going round in circles. I'll order the new design and if I prefer the look of the old one I'll get in touch. Many thanks.
