We're off on a tour soon and as we're two-up I really need to get my old 36 litre Monokey Givi panniers mounted on the Fazer (2001 FXS 1000). I really didn't think it would be difficult. Expensive maybe, but not difficult...
I did a bit of research and it looks like there's no way to mount my old Wingrack which would have been ideal but there we go.
So a couple of weeks back I ordered the side rack (PL348) from
www.modulemoto.co.uk. The side-rack blurb says it must be fitted with the top rack (348FZ) so I ordered that and a top plate (M7) from
www.motocard.comAll's good.
Then, yesterday, I emailed ModuleMoto to find out when the rack will arrive and they said "Oh, we don't stock them any more"... what's more, I can't find one anywhere on the web (that will ship to the UK).
So, I have a top rack and top plate on the way (which I only ordered because the side-rack PL348 requires them) but no side-rack and no way to mount my panniers on the bike!!
Does anyone know of any way to side-mount Monokey panniers on the 2001 FZS 1000?
Thanks!!
The PL349 rack seems to still be available but it looks like it doesn't fit the 2001 model. Anyone know if it can be modified to fit?
I would ask Givi but they have convinced me that they know nothing about their own products.
