Hi all,
I'm hoping someone here can help. I've recently installed the Givi side bags on my Dino. I bought a top box as well. However, I can't seem to get the mounting plate for the top box mounted to the rack. It doesn't even come close to lining up with the holes on the rack. I am pretty sure the side rack (which is also the rack for the top box) is mounted correctly as the side bags fit perfectly. Its just this silly top plate that won't line up on the rack. I've tried loosening up the whole rack to see if I can force it through some manipulation to fit, but again, not even close. I've checked to make sure I have the correct mounting plate and it appears to be correct. The plate is the Givi m5m and the mounting rack is the FZ265. I even bought a universal plate, but ran into the same problem. Has a anyone else run into this issue? I keep thinking i must be missing something obvious, but I even brought in my neighbor who is a stellar mechanic and neither of us can figure it out. I'd welcome thoughts from anyone who has mounted this system on to their bike. Thanks!
