In via crew mail, can we try and help Martyn please?
Hi could you please advise re hard luggage racks.I have just updated my VFR for a Blackbird, on purchase I was advised by Honda dealer my only option would be a wing rack system for my Givi box set.
I have bought a wing rack and find this obtrusive; I would like to use a top box alone! is this possible with the SW MOTECHS system and can this system be used without removing the indicators.
Please reply to this post I will send Martyn the link - thanks in advance

SW Motechs are just what the doctor ordered (no pun intended). Got some pics if you want... can post here or email. And you don't need to relocate the indicators either.
If assholes could fly, 10 Downing Street would be an airport.

Is that the blue one
behind the black one
There is nothing wrong with the way I ride.
Just stay 15 feet in front or 15 feet behind. You need to be 15 feet to my left or right.
Any closer and your MINE all MINE

Serious note...
I prefer the soft paniers, tail pack & tank bag.
