| Guys and gals I am asking IF someone has a E52 mounting bracket sr19 that they no longer need?? I had it on my 04 silverwing that I just sold. BUT I did not want to take it off of that bike and leave the holes. SO IF someone has the sr 19 mounting bracket that they do NOT need anymore just let me know how much you want for it. I know the NEW sr19 brackets cost $96 plus tax. OR does anyone know where I can get the bracket any cheaper.???? Ghost rider Greg Houston tx. usa 2010 Honda silverwing |

| What about asking the person you sold the scooter to if they want to give it / sell it back to you? Gotta be worth a punt.
Cheers, |

| I had lost the plastic cover that fits over the electrical socket on the Bracket. PLUS the wire somehow got crushed to much and the elect. lights socket did not work. From the wire being crushed. I did look on Ebay and most of them want the same price as a new one from the Honda dealer. So I may have to go to the dealer to get it.? |

| I would buy genuine GIVI @ around $100. GIVI stuff is good---my E46 Box has over 500,000 miles....even stood the shaking of a HD Sportster!!
But want to be cheap? Bolt box directly to rear spoiler. Holes are already there to be punched out. Probably 8mm threads already there. As to GIVI wires----they died early on my box----make up your own--- |

| If the stop light kit is not pre installed It can be a night mare to install. The connections are hard to fit with stiff sore hand,and the connection between the box and the sr 19 connection only works in one direction,can be confusing when all the wires are black. |

| Before you go to the dealer why not buy 4 rubber blanking grommets from a hardware store, and suggest to the dealer you can cover up the holes where the Givi rack was. |

| Update time I did go to the Honda dealer and order the mounting bracket today. The bracket cost $89 and change. I had asked the guy IF the electric socket for the topcase came with it. He did not know so he had to call givi usa and they told him that was extra. Yeah $7 extra but I had to get it.So all of it cost $107 with tax. I will have it next week.I like the monokey cases the best because you can take the topcase off when not in use. Ya know I would have thought that electric socket would have come with the bracket instead of 2 parts guess they know how to screw ya out of MORE $$$$$ Thanks again guys.

| When I bought my Give 55 It did not come with the light kit.I had to order the stop light kit separately. I regret not getting the kit that had the running and turn signal,brake lights.I might install one later. |
