Usually a bit more of a 'pull' though.

I recently put my non-fango rack on, piece of **** taking them off but then again I've done it before. Don't do what I always do and forget to reconnect the seat lock.

Do you have a givi top box and if so, what size/cost etc....I'm after one, 2nd hand but they're just too expensive!

When I did my givi topbox I found it a bit of a pain getting the rear fairing off, what I found was it came off quite easy if I put a screwdriver underneth those rubber things and gave it a decent whack!

PS: I take no responability for broken panels

Cheers (once again) for the advice - although I didn't see your post jonnyt that's basically what I did, and finally SUCCESS

Sort of.

The support for the top box is attached to the rear footrest, which has two bolts... one of which will not move... Managed to break the spanner I was using? Time for some WD40 and a new spanner I suppose

cheap tools

I've now got an expensive spanner which did the job perfectly. The box is now on, attached is a photo of it in place:

Really improves the look of the bike, I'm sure you'll all agree.
