I have a VIP trunk and looking for a mounting rack
Written by spacetiger_j... on 5/21/2011 at 02:38 am

Has anyone ever see if the ST1100 tail bracket can be modified to fit to the PC?
It can accept the givi mounting plate, so you can add the trunk.

Here is what the bracket loooks like:

reservations expressed about using the OEM backrest as an anchor point for a
luggage rack, but I had not seen anything about actual failure. I wonder if
there would be any way to reinforce the two welds, or transfer weight off them
to the frame under the trunk? The trunk "duckbill" doesn't seem to rest directly
on the frame tube underneath it, but I have not taken off that part of the trunk
lid to examine it.
