Hi folks. I think I already know the answer to this but confirmation would be fab. Am I correct in thinking the Givi PL2119 pannier racks only work WITH the passenger grab handles?
I like to use my bike without rear seat and without passenger grab handles to get a lower and level storage space.
I'm guessing I would need to have some spacers made up so that i could use the Givi PL2119 rack without the rear seat and passenger grab handles.
Hope that makes sense. Any knowledge shared will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You are correct, spacers are needed, IIRC the spacer needs to fill 11mm, but I used @12mm, so anywhere around that should do it.

I used a solid spacer, that I bought from a hardware store.

I'm guessing 2 different spacers on each side. I think the rear needs more depth. Maybe you used 14mm and 18mm?

TBH, I cannot remember as I took off the GIVI and replaced with Metalmule that came with grab rails (convenient as the 2016 non-ES does not come with grab rails. When I get a chance I will go and have a look again, try to find the 'bits' from the Givi in the garage somewhere.
