SW Motech makes a top rack for my bike... that was i can get one GIANT, i mean GIANT top case of my choice and put it up? lol
i know exactly what u mean and that's not the only problem... second problem is that the space between the top and bottom rail on this specific GIVI is not the same as this quick release bracket. so that's why i'm crossing GIVI out. but i had that same idea before.
GIVI doesn't have much info. the H&B looks more promising and i THINK that the reason you think it sits under the tail is because of the angle the picture was taken... i'll reply back when i have more info on the H&B... do you think if the dimensions aren't right, we could somehow mount this...

funny thing is i did not see ANYTHING on that nut when i loosened it. as i saw that on other parts of the bike such as bar ends and stuff, but i did not see ANY on that nut. i was easily able to remove that nut so i'm confused now! when i...
Ok now you making me worried
what does the "lock tight" mean?
Should I just undo it and get a proper torque wrench?
does anyone have a torque wrench I can borrow?
huh! i see what u mean. i didn't have a torque wrench that locks with weight settings. so i just paid attention to how much force i had to give it when i removed the nut... then i applied the same amount of pressure tightening it.. but maybe i will look into buying a proper torque wrench and...
it's the main center bolt that i'm talking about. sorry it actually is not listed there you have to selec swingwarm to get to the bolt..
