Givi pannier frame for BMW G650GS - any info out there??

[Joe]

Hi there
I acquired a set of Givi E45 panniers and want to mount them on my 2009 BMW G650GS. Any idea where to get one or does anybody have a pattern or detailed photos of one? Quite capable of making anything like that myself....

Any info, links or photos appreciated!
Cheers
Joe

Thanks for the link. Clear advantage if one can use Google!

The problem (challenge) I have is trying to fit old Givi panniers to an '09 bike. Apparently these E45 panniers have not been made for a while and I am not sure if all the attachment points have stayed the same....

Givi never made racks for FJ1200's ... I acquired the pannier's (including the Top box) and rack off an old Honda. I kept the square frame the panniers actually attach to ... and then designed and built the frame to fit my bike. It wasn't as big an issue/job as I thought it would be. Knowing somebody that can weld ... with their own welder was a distinct advantage.

Thanks for the reply.
That's what I mean: I can make it myself but I do not know what the attachment points look like. No idea what knobs the panniers sit in..
I have enough tubes to bend and also got a TIG welder and gas welding equipment, so that is not the issue. It's more trying to copy someone's setup instead of paying $400 for a piddly little frame!

All the monokey panniers fit the the same rack, it’s only the new Outback Trekker that has the new camlock setup. Rack will be about $300 brand new or pick up any rack on TradeMe cheap and modify it to fit.

Check with Ray from Mount Motorcycles if He has got any second hand racks.
