I was so ill and ended up in belford hospital for 4 nights.honestly I don't know how I manage to travel that far.my wife said my head was dropping down a few times and slightly drifting from the road.the doctors said I got cellulitis and they said I was lucky not to crash and they can't believe I rode through Glen coe.my right ankle and lower half of my leg swelled up.I was in a right state. home now and recovering but no riding or driving for a few weeks.1st picture not sure where we we but on the A82,2nd Oban,foot/leg as it is now but was a lot worst than that. on the road to recovery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlin01 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 @johnakay on a completely different subject and shamelessly hijacking your thread......What top box and rear carrier is that in your pic? Is it the Yamaha set? What literage is the top box. I'm going to get a rear carrier and topbox for my GT, I like the 'integrated' look of the Yamaha rear rack (as it look slike the exisiting grab handles) but already have Givi boxes and monokey plate, which aren't compatible with the Yamaha rack.

Thats good to hear. Get better quickly and get back out riding. 👍 BTW, I like the unique color of your bike - looks good, its not very common. I like something a little bit different. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this solution I can use my existing Givi kit, many thanks. Have you had any concerns about strength of the rack? Any issues with weight limit etc?

johnakay Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 none whatsoever. I'm a welder and fabricator by trade but retired now. the brackets is welded all the way long. over done in my opinion but complaining had to trim down the spacers for my kappa side luggage frame. I'd recommend it. I was going to make my own till I bought this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlin01 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Bu99er! Having contacted the seller they do not think it'll fit the GT! Back to the drawing board. Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
