Got the Top Rack kit for my SR/F from AF1
« on: August 14, 2019, 05:41:00 AM »

Worked out OK.  My Givi top box fits too.  Looks better without it, but not bad.  I had to find some shorter bolts than stock to mount it under the seat.  Mounting involved replacing the turn signal mount with a new one, and losing the two shiny metal pieces on the tail.

Sweet! Yeah I think most bikes look better without, but now your bike is more practical.😊

Nice !!  :)

Have you got some pictures of the mounting of the rack under the rear seat (where you removed the shiny silver pieces)

I always say "do you want to look at it or ride it?".  And while riding we cannot even see our bikes!

My SR has the side cases, trunk, a tank bag. Not much area left to see of the bike! But it gets me to where i am going! And with a lot of stuff, when I need to take it.

Thanks. I like that it’s anchored to the frame more securely than before.

I agree that the Monolock case doesn’t really match the bike’s styling. Maybe there’s an intended Shad case to match or a larger Monokey Givi case.

Zero supposedly sells a Shad case for the sr/f.

Here you go...

Thanks! indeed a more secure mounting to the frame.

I thought that the Shad Case for the SR/F was the SH39 topcase and matching SH23 for the side cases (depending on whether you opt for only the toprack & case or the full rack with top and side cases.

I'll have to have a look at what's out there.  I just re-used the top-case I had for my DSR (purchased the Givi direct from another vendor, not Zero).  I am sure I can do better!

It did well on my commute today...
