Thumbs up
[quote=Shapeshifter;249465]Here you go, weehawk. This is a no brainer. It is a perfect fit for a tool roll.

As for the zipties, They will probably outlast the bike. Mounting with SS u-bolts would be best if you are making the run to Dakar.

Also would not trust the plastic zip ties as they weather and get brittle.
They make Stainless Steel ones that would last much longer.
Just my .02
Perhaps it depends on the quality of the zip-tie, but I have some that are 7 years old now still holdin' on strong.

I use UV Black Nylon ties.

Specs: Nylon 6/6 - UV Stabilized
UV Stabilized Nylon 6/6 is used in continuous or extended exposure to outdoor sunlight. The nylon cable tie is a weather resistant grade, enduring additional ultraviolet (UV) light. This grade is produced by incorporating stabilizers in the nylon resin. UV Stabilized Nylon cable ties are available only in black.

There is room but you would not be able to just strap it on the Givi rack. It would be pretty tight against the yellow side panel. If you made a plate, or panel, or some kind of frame work behind the Givi rack, you could probably fit three in there.

One for tools, one for a handful of uncooked spaghetti, and one full of your favorite breakfast cereal.
