Rack recommendations?? - SV650.org

Can anyone suggest what luggage rack will fit my curvy SV?

The one that fits behind the grab rail on the tail end - not the pannier types. Need one to stick bits and bobs on and stick my topbox on now and then --- ohh but NOT givvi racks!!

see here why ------>> http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=151390

So any other racks that will fit??

IF it's not for a topbox, then a rentec rack
If it is for a topbox, then an SW Motech rack (is that the right name?)

Or alternatively get the Renntec and bolt the givi plate to the rack. I have to say I've used GIVI on 3-4 bikes and have been very pleased with them. I know of a fair few folk on here who use GIVI on their SV, so it could be just a f**k up by their distributor on this occasion. alpinestarshero most certainly has one on his curvy.

SW Motec look better but are more expensive.

For the aesthetics, the SW Motech ALUrack is the easiest on the eye, but not the wallet. Have you thought of bolting the GIVI rack onto a spare rear seat? Worked a treat for me for many rides and trips away.

Had a renntec on my er5 and did the job just fine. But will do a search of the ones you mentioned and see what they are like.

Cheers guys

BluePete - back seat isn't really spare as my daughter sometimes comes pillion with me.

I may have a sw motech rack for sale soon, i bought a 46l givi box, base plate and the sw motech rack for my pointy and its still in the box.
Thinking of getting a trumpet now so may never be fitted.
