So... I was thinking...
* The passenger seat is built to hold, well a whole passenger, right?
* What if you planned to never carry a passenger?
* The OEM luggage rack is flimsy
So...
1. Remove passenger seat.
2. Remove sissy bar.
3. Buy beat up / used passenger seat.
4. tear off seat cover / cushion.
5. Drill holes in baseplate
6. Bolt wood or metal to baseplate
7. Bolt Givi baseplate to larger baseplate.
8. Attach Givi E460N case to givi baseplate
9. Attach Givi backrest to E460N case
(to go cheaper, one could do the
JCWhitney Givi clone cases for $90 ...)
... now you have a backrest for the driver's seat and a lockable trunk ...
Just a thought. ... I might try this over the winter as a project for the wife's Savage.
