Trying to fit rack to put top case on 1100GS

[CV35Ian]

Trying to fit rack to put top case on 1100GS. The one that fits the top case OK might need extra brackets - or will my case/rack combo not work? The rack that sits better wont fit the topcase I have.
So first pics, will this work ? Do i need extra strengthening beyond standard rack?
Or final pic, rack that sits better, anyone got a topcase available that will fit this rack?
Thanks

i have a topbox that works with the final pic. but i think there is a bit missing on your rack where the 4 holes are. i listed the topbox yesterday for £70 pounds on another site, i will upload pix asap.

Here are the pic.box has scratches and one key.i am in Suffolk. if i remember correctly there is another block of plastic that fits under the 4 open holes in your photo, do you have that block ? without it i dont think it will be secure.

Thanks, I have a mate who is fabricating the bracket to secure everything with the 4 bolts.

This seems like my best option rather than going bonkers trying to adapt a different mounting, will message you. Thanks

In the first 3-4 pics you are trying to fit the wrong rack and topbox to your GS
That box and rack you have is for a 1150/1100 RT and won’t fit a GS
The rack & topbox (that you have been offered) is the GS fitment
The RT will not fit and was never designed too

Thanks, I thought that might be the case, better list it soon

You want Alphadogs topbox
That is the 1100/1150 topbox fitment and the right one for your bike

This is the correct GS rack too
