NewFJ,
I'm not personally familiar with that brand of luggage system, but it shouldn't be too daunting a task for you with a little ingenuity.

Typically, the racks will mount in four to six places on the rear of the bike. Be wary of the weak tabs that the rear turn signals mount to. These are NOT intended to support a load, and WILL CRACK AND BREAK unless properly reinforced. (read WELDED) Perform a search in this forum for write-ups and pictures.

Post a few pictures of the parts you have, and we'll try to help.

Steve

JUST today saw a set of Nonfango racks... but they were for my friend's Ducati ST4. Nonfango I understand is a company much unlike Givi.... makers of racks and luggage. I too was just in the process of looking them up. Their website is tough to navigate! His racks on his Ducati are very well engineered, look good and I would but a set in a heartbeat...... NOW, if can only find them!

This site was recommended on another bike list I'm on.

   http://www.robsacc.nl (http://www.robsacc.nl)

Lots of choices of bags, panniers, topboxes from Givi, NonFango, Krauser etc.
The site is in Dutch, so find a cloghopper to help you with the translation :-)
I don't know if he ships internationally.
