Background: I park my '08 Vee just inside the roll-up door. I stand next to the Vee when I lower the door to make sure nothing is going to hit and stop the door should I need to reposition. All was good last time I parked. However, I opened the Givi top trunk when the door was closed and I left the carrying handle up.
Fastforward to another day and I open the roll-up door from outside....and yep....the handle catches the lower part of the door....making a nice loud noise, followed by a stream of
(#&^^@)(@_#^&#^(A$
)&%^)(@&+)%$^&@) out of me.
Now the handle will not close.
Take case off of bike and small pieces fall out. Another stream of (#
&$#&&@^%%$
#()+[email protected]#&*^).
Proceed to take the latch off of the case, find the pieces, figure-out where they go, glue them back...they were just to hold the rear reflectors in place on both side of the handle.
However, there is a metal plate within that is bent. Begin to take the latch apart, go to take one shaft out, see the spring, ok....go nice and easy....just a little tug....and the shaft lets go all at once ..spring goes flying...somewhere!! This was the spring that brings the carrying handle come-up to be able to get to the push button to open the lid.
After two hours of searching my garage...no luck.
I am looking for a damaged Givi E52 top case, all I need is the latch...actually just part of the latch...anyone have one??
Thanks
