Hi Guys

Can any of you knowledgable chaps comment on whether these will / might work with a set of Metal Mule panniers...

Not adverse to a bit of butchery if likely to be needed.....

Much appreciated

They look like Givi frames to me.No idea how Metal mule frames attach so can't comment on suitability!
The frames are upside-down in the photos and the locking catches and lower locating spigots are missing!

They look like my GIVI frames.
The two seperate plates look like the strengthening pieces that are used as part of the GIVI top box fitting kit.
Difficult to see on the pic, but it looks like the 2 `mushrooms` and the triangular locking part have been removed to allow fitting of the ally box type panniers.

The same as the ones fitted to my 1150.

I took off the Givi mounting parts to fit my ARD panniers.........
[2 MUSHROOMS AND METAL LOCKING PART]
And yes just reposition the metal mule fitting on the panniers to suit the Give racking.
The two Givi top box /rack supports can be used on any top bob rack,to stop the BMW alloy rack support snapping due to excess loading,they fit on the pre drilled holes at the rear.Just under the seat,where the Givi rack bolts on.
Look at my bike,u will see i used a H/B rack and used the supports for 3 years [not needed on a GSA].
EDIT
You may need to move or cut the indicator stalks on the rear if the panniers are big,u will notice on my bike they were moved back,using some brackets.

The bits taken off to allow any type of panniers to fit racks.

Givi frames

Look like the Givi frames on my 1150 too-Ash's seem more substantial having and additional mounting point at the front uper corner-I was thinking of welding an additional bracket at this point.

Ash, would the same system work on the 1100? I mean, after they have been 'tweeked' to take other panniers?

Hmmm sadly missed the chance to buy the Givi frames on FleaBay, so still looking for something that will work with a pair of Metal mule panniers.

Anybody got anything (I know - post it on wanted....)
