I sent the rear luggage rack for reinforcement yesterday. It had to be done as the original construction allows only about 11lbs max weight.
Just looking at it, originally, it's flimsy and deisgned light and "looks" gave way to praticality.
Since I have to use a GIVI box to lug my lenses and camera equipment, I had to get it done.
2 "L" plates were welded on. Sorry about the pic quality, used a mobile phone.
Also, you wonder why after paying so much for it, they can't provide 2 plastic caps for the 2 rear bolts to avoid them collecting water and rust away. Got the caps at GIVI when they installed my box
