I have a VIP trunk and looking for a mounting rack
Written by docpolycarp on 5/20/2011 at 09:36 pm

Just to clarify, you'll need to drill mounting holes in the corner brace to line
up with the bolt holes in the back of the OEM backrest. The arm of the corner
brace will then extend back from the backrest similar to the profile of the Reid
Rack in the Files/Accessories/ReidRackMountView.jpg image.

When I hung 50lbs on each bracket, they only flexed, they didn't "bend." When I
hung 50lbs on both brackets together side by side, they barely flexed at all.

I don't even know if I'll actually need anything more than these two corner
braces to mount the Givi E250 mounting plate. I might bolt a metal plate to the
corner brace arms to better support the Givi E250 plate, but that might be
overkill. The Givi E128 TOP CASE MOUNT KIT for the KAWASAKI CONCOURS comes
with a flat metal plate as well as the E250 mounting plate itself and should
work perfectly with these corner braces.

that the angle is less than 90* to match the angle of the rear bracket of the
OEM passenger backrest to the top of the PC trunk. Then bend the arm so the
mounting holes of the top of the corner brace arm are parallel with top of the
trunk. Cut off the upper arm level with the top of the rear OEM passenger
backrest bracket. The mounting will be similar to the old Reid Rack, see the
