Just called my dealer to order the hand rails with the mounting holes. He said we knew that you would need them and they got here about five minutes ago and your Givi stuff should be here by noon.

Hi Sporty, are the rails in the Givi Or BMW catalog and are they $400?

Thanks Sporty, I think up to this years model they had the holes predrilled with a pressed in nut. I don't think it would be too hard to drill them and use a nylock nut.

I ordered a Givi SRA5105 rack for a 2016 sport. It looks like I will have to drill mounting holes in the hand holds. has anybody installed on a 2016? thanks for the help.

J Reynolds, new member with a new scoot. A2016 650sport.

I think it's up to the dealer when the set it up. Mine darn sure had locktite. You could see it on the threads.

Your right Steve. The Sierras are about ten miles east if my house and the KLR is perfect for a day or two ride. Got the scooter for multi day touring. I think it's going to be great. A lot more comfortable than my 04 RS.

Observations over the last few days. If you have a problem getting those damn screws out on a new bike, let your dealer do it. His employee was the one that used locktite. If you remove them and tap them back in there is no way they will hold. Read the instructions on a new screen. A Givi comes...

If I knew that when I signed up that my real name would have been my screen name I would have been a little less proper:o

I guess that after asking few questions on this forum I should introduce myself. I had a lot of bikes in my younger years and then came a wife, kids and all that stuff. Got back into riding about fourteen years ago on a Yamaha Seca 11. Since then I've had a few bikes. Ducati, Honda, Kawasaki...

It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Maybe five minutes for all four. I'm just a little concerned about the brass inserts staying in. Had to tap them pretty hard a few times with a plastic mallet to get them back into the mount though. Yeah, I should of gone to the dealer over this.

Got them out last night. Used a power driver and a little pressure between the screen and mount. used hi speed and when they got hot they slid right out. used a little super glue and a plastic mallet to put them back in.

Thanks Kreiman, I think that your spot on. I'll use your advise when I get home tonight. thanks again.

Used the torx driver that came in the tool kit. Going to borrow a power driver at work today. The screws came out a little then seem to just turn.

What is the secret to removing the windscreen screws? got a Givi screen for my new 650 sport. Spent the last hour trying to remove the screws to the stock screen and really getting nowhere.
