Instructions

Before you start fitting anything to the bike, make sure that you have all the parts you need. The Givi monoracks are bought as two separate items. One of these is the universal top-plate (the bit the box attaches to), and the other is a fitting kit specifically designed for the bike. The boxes themselves are extra.

The first thing to do is to remove the bike's seat and side panels. Remove the seat by turning the key and sliding it backwards. Then remove both side panels by undoing the pair of bolts holding them and sliding them forward to release the tabs connecting them to the rear bodywork. (It is not strictly necessary to remove the side panels, as the picture shows, but removing them might make things a little easier later).

Stick some of the foam padding onto the underside of the seat clamps. This is to protect your side panels from getting scratched, so you should be able to see from the picture which areas need to be covered.

Fit both seat clamps onto the bar sticking out of the frame underneath the seat, one on each side, but do not tighten the bolt yet. You will need to be able to adjust the final position of the clamps to be sure that everything else fits.

Next you need to remove the bolts holding the grab rail in place. Each bolt has a small plastic cover fitted into it for cosmetic reasons. Using your small screwdriver, carefully prise the plastic covers out to gain access to the bolt heads. Then remove each bolt and pack them away safely. They will not be needed again unless you ever want to remove the monorack. They will be replaced by longer bolts supplied with your fitting kit.
