thanks, very helpful since I am considering similar set-up

I too wondered about the removal Givi racks and didn't think that I wanted that option and the stationary ones have worked for me and have in the past. One thing about them is you could go with different bags if you wanted to, like Pelicans or Jessie Luggage, or bags of that type where you could just bolt them to the racks, then they would be removal. Nice article.

I bought the PLR532 racks and the Givi E36 bags.

I concur, these parts are different but there is not mention of it in the directions......in fact the directions really don't mention much of anything.



The front bracket mounted on the exhaust side....if you get them backwards there will be no space between the bracket and the side fairing.


The front bracket on the shifter side....


Finished product with E36 bags.....


You don't have to relocate the rear turn signals with the PLR532.

Nice bags all around!!!
