gv550 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 This is my Yamaha 50 litre top case on the Yamaha rack. Definitely not the typical 'street glide' look but then I don't wear the typical pirate costume either! ? 1 2019 Tracer GT, Ontario, Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemmotar Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 SS56, I also have the Givi Monokey plate and a Givi 30L Dolomiti aluminum case mounted on a SW-Motech rack vice a Yamaha rack. No problems with install, height or utility. My 2 cents... what rack EXACTLY you use. it seems that its the older alu-rack... the reason i am asking is that for tracer 900 gt, sw motech released a different product called ADVENTURE RACK that doesnt need any universal plate, just a mounting kit for every brand topcase (shad 1/2, givi, sw motech etc)... i have e-mailed to them if they plan to release the new rack for the older models and they responded negatively. if the older rack suits exaclty to the new model, then vice versa, the new rack will fit the older tracer - fj09 (2015-2017) MODS: custom remapped 133 wheel power by T.R.E. / K&P WORKSHOP, WOOLICH RACING + race tools package, reprofiled cams, ported cylinder head, higher compression, bored throttle bodies, ape cam tensioner, OHLINS FGK237 cartridge & YA 535, GPR V4, SKF Fork seals, BREMBO RCS 19 Corta Rossa with SC pads, HEALTECH shift light PRO, AKRAPOVIC racing carbon exhaust, slipper clutch + Barnett clutch springs, JT Sprockets + JVMX 525 black 112 links chain, oil temp gauge drain plug, air filter DNA + Modded airbox, PIRELLI ROSSO CORSA II, YAMAHA LED plus blinkers, antitheft alarm scorpio 900i + perimeter sensor + kill engine module, CELLULAR INTERPHONE led slim fog lights with yamaha oem mounting bracket, YAMAHA heated grips and more....

Supporting Member whistler Posted November 27, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted November 27, 2018 Kemmotar, that is indeed the older Alu-Rack from SW-Motech. When I bought it from Twisted Throttle, it was listed as fitting the 2017 FJ-09, so I took a chance and ordered it (there was nothing listed for the 900 GT at the time). Hardware, rails and rack fit just fine EXCEPT . . . the mounting tabs that bolt under the seat are aligned 90 degrees to the bike's centerline as opposed to aligning to the GT's factory-angled cutouts in the plastic side panels. I trimmed the factory cutouts with a utility knife to make the fit-up and never looked back. I bolted up the Monokey adapter plate, installed my V46, then ordered and installed my 30L Dolomiti top box. Been running that ever since. The rails and rack are very robust and fit my commuting needs to a tee. This is what works for me. Obviously, YMMV. Best of luck. 1 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT (Annabelle) 2013 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 (Juliette) 2013 Yamaha FJR 1300 (Rachel) 2008 Suzuki Bandit 1250S (Fiona) 2006 Honda VFR800 (Jenny) 2005 Suzuki V-Strom DL650 (Hannah) 2003 Honda Shadow Sabre VT1100 (Veronica) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Givi plate and top box that has been through 2 bikes and is a good set up. It looks like the plate will be higher on the Tracer 900 GT than my last 2 rides and I was hoping someone would have tried this combination so I could find out before buying. Thanks, S.S.56 I have the Yamaha accessory rear rack and the Givi universal mount with a Givi 30L aluminum top case on my GT. No problem with the mount or height on my bike with this configuration if that helps. Rash, any way you could provide some pictures of your setup? I want to go with the Yamaha rack and a Givi topcase but would like to see a picture or two before dropping the money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t give any real world experience yet since I just got mine Thursday, but I’ve got a few pictures of the 50L mounted up. Well, I tried but yet again, the pictures I take from my phone are too large of an attachment to send in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it holds what you want it to hold, it's not oversize. I run mine with saddlebags to whatever speed I want to ride and have not experienced any ill effects. The 50L has been so useful that I now leave it on all the time and it is the first case I open to store or carry stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lock and latches work fine, my bride says it makes a good backrest, and I haven't noticed any handling affects up to 115 mph.

mickey63 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Fitted an SW Motech Adventure rack to the back of my GT this morning, with the rack you can buy adaptors that will allow you to mount any manufactures cases (GIVI Monokey/Monolock, Shad and others) Took about an hour to fit, it replaces the rear grab handles and uses the same boltholes. https://btcloud.bt.com/web/app/share/invite/atHU2fYTsH https://btcloud.bt.com/web/app/share/invite/Fx0LUiygkU https://btcloud.bt.com/web/app/share/invite/sO5kSMZvXy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thanks for sharing MIckey63 I think I'll get one of those, it looks like it brings the box 'forward' compared to some other racks (which I like).
