Could you trim off that part of the rack? If it is only cosmetic then it shouldn't hurt anything.

I just posted a few close-up pictures (in the general discussion section) of the side case mounts, and the first picture shows how the upper cross bar attaches to the rear grab rails. There are two 90 deg brackets that bolt to the threaded holes (provided by BMW) that are under the rear rack...

Ok, hope these help. .

Thanks SteveADV but I now realize that I should have removed the soft seat bag before taking the pictures. Yes anyone can see that it has nothing to do with the hard bags but it still is a visual distraction. Oh well.

That's two of us, other than my new BMW 650 GT it would have to be the Suzuki V Strom 650.... or possibly my Yamaha FZ1. Two different types of bikes but both fun to ride.

These are GIVI brand mounts for the BMW C 650 GT (they won't fit the 600 Sport), and the photos are with the GIVI 21 Liter side bags, and one of GIVI's largest rear boxes. The rear box is the 47 L size which in my opinion is too big (and therefore ugly) for everyday use. However I occasionally...

Yes it appears that for now they only make hard bag mounts for the GT. I will start a new thread for the GT mounts and hard bags.

As a point of interest. I tried placing a piece of straight tubing into the muffler and all the way to where it connects to the Cat. That effectively made it a straight pipe from the Catalytic Converter out past the end of the muffler; the muffler was then completely bypassed and wasn't doing...

I ordered side mounts (or racks) and a rear box mount (required when ordering side mounts for a GT) and I ordered them from Sport Tour Ltd - Adventure Touring and Sport Touring Accessories. The part numbers for the GT are PL5106 & SRA5106 but the Sport part numbers are different (AND LESS...

Mine is just an Akro not the BMW Akro. I thought about taking it off and selling it but I now plan on keeping it. Like you I do like the looks better, and again like you, I may also come to like the more subdued sound. It does have a little bit different sound, not much but a little, so I can...

Give me a couple of days and I should be able to post pictures of the 21 Liter GIVI hard side bags on my GT. I already have the bags but according to FedEx the mounts should be delivered tomorrow. 21 liters is not very big but I have used them a several bikes and I like them. No it won't be on...

I just finished installing my new Aprakravic muffler and I am sad to report I think I mostly wasted my money. I say mostly because my main reason for changing the muffler was to have a throatier sounding exhaust. The sound isn't much different now than it was stock, in fact if someone had...

Thanks. When you said Bug Eyes I thought you were talking about the design of the mirror not the name of the company. Interesting concept but they wouldn't work for me with my scooter helmet because they wouldn't allow it to be stored under the seat they way I like to keep it. However, I could...

I like the concept (my 2011 Ford Mustang came with similar type mirrors) but since only the outer half of my GT mirror is usable (the inner half is only good for looking at my arms & shoulders) I wonder if there would be any useful part of the mirror left to see what is behind us? Therefore, at...

Ok, what is their web site address?

They may still work with an open face helmet (the kind almost everyone wore, including me, in Steve McQueen's days) but they won't work with the modern full face helmets and flip up face shields.

Here is another way to add spot mirrors to a GT model. This allows you to add a 3" spot mirror (instead of the smaller ones), and places them further out, which gives you much larger field of view. I rode the bike with both and the smaller spot mirrors and the larger mirrors, and the 3"...

As many of you have probably found out, a small "blind spot mirror" does not work very well when mounted on the inboard part of the mirror (both on a car or a motorcycle). However, I found these small, adjustable, blind spot mirrors to work relatively well in that position. And as Jamie...

From these posts (where raising the level cures the problem) it appears the warning light is a low oil level warning not a low oil pressure warning. It also appears that it is often a little overly sensitive (although I would rather it is overly sensitive than not sensitive enough). However...
