Spent some time in the garage for a change.
givis2_0001.jpg - The new Givi kit on the Sportster. The Sportster was setup as a 1-up sport-tourer, but since I'm selling my other bike, the Sportster will now handle occasional 2-up duties for riding with the kids. I had the side bag racks mounted on a removeable rack so the entire kit could be removed as an assembly.
After adding the 2-up seat, the new luggage rack is smaller and doesn't have room to mount the bag racks (Givi Wingracks). They're now affixed to the bike, independent of the luggage rack.
This kit still includes the E21 side bags and the E45NJ top case.
Side view showing luggage rack, top case, side cases installed. The new 2-up seat is a Harley-Davidson Sundowner seat.
View showing the luggage rack removed. The luggage rack is the Harley-Davidson quick release luggage rack (without the sissy bar and back rest) in Gloss Black.
View of the side case removed and the Wingrack mounted on the bike.
This view shows the mounting points for the Wingracks extended from the mount points for the quick-release luggage rack.
The spacers for the upper two mounting points are made from electrical conduit with 3/8" nuts pressed in to act as bushings to keep the 5/16" bolts lined up in the center of the conduit spacer. This view also shows the top end of the lower mount point bracket, which is made from 3/16" flat bar steel stock.
This view shows the front top bolt with a well nut / t-nut mounted into the Wingrack. The rear top bolt is a socket head bolt threaded int the end of the stock Harley-Davidson sisy bar / luggage rack mounting hardware.
This view shows the bike with all luggage parts removed, stripped down to "sport" mode.
