Givi PL360 sidecase racks
- Thread starter bobski
- Start date
Ok, it appears to be confirmed from a couple of sources now that only the Givi PLXR364 sideracks (that accomodate only the PLX style cases, i.e. V35) or the SW Moteck EVO sideracks (that accomodate standard Monokey cases and many different brands of cases with the use of adaptors) are the only sidecases that fit the FZ6R. Both options are approx. $300 just for the racks, and any required adaptor plates of mounting adaptors are additional. At this time there appears to be no less expensive option for hard luggage mounting racks unless you fabricate something yourself.

I for one can say that that is the reason for the DIY build.
If you would like to work with me and come up with a solution I would be happy to lend a hand.
I don't know if you saw my versions of racks for the FZ6R, but it is a good platform to work off of I believe, it is nothing to omit the rack and do side case only style.
Cool, I'd be happy to work with you to come up with a solution Gil. I didn't see your verions of racks, can you send me a link? I'm wondering if simply purchasing the PL360 racks (which would be complete with the standard Monokey case mounting system) and having the bike attachment points re-fabricated (cut, modified, re-welded to fit the FZ6R) might be the simplest and most complete solution? i.e. just create a custom fit version for the FZ6R since Givi has failed to do so. We'd then have a rack that would accomodate any of the standard Monokey cases . . and not only the very expensive V35 PLX cases.

PM sent with link.
To anyone who is using or has access to some standard Monokey sidecases like the E21 cases (i.e. not the PLX style), could you please post clear well lighted photos of the mounting points on the cases and of the mounting points on the racks, and include dimensions between the points. Thanks a bunch.

I don't have measurement, I just use the case as a template. Here's some pic of my Ebay top case and E21 set up. And I gave you the link for the goodies (2 pins and latch)
Givi Hardware Components, Monolock, Tour & Ride, Rubber Buffers
You need the "Attachment Clamp" and "Mushroom Spacer"
I'll take a side view pic on my rack
Here yo go Bobski...
Distance between the mushroom pins is 9" and 9" from the pins to the latch clamp. Give yourself some room to adjust it. I put some clear rubber hose (slice open to go over the steel rod) and it seams to work just fine. Those are rated 5 lbs and 70 MPH max... thrust me... they can handle much more! Weight and speed! LOL
Hope it work for you
