2011-05-19 - Stole the Givi mount off my ST1300 and a piece of aluminum that I had hanging around and mounted it. I used 5/16" nuts and 1/4" washers as spacers. The straps going to the grab rails are there for just in case my temporary mount fails. I always have the straps on in case I need to strap something on the back rack, and this is a good way to keep it from flapping around.
