GIVI saddlebag owners

[dewie]

Hey guys,
The 09' se5 I picked up came with the GIVI bags, and for my wheelchair to get close to the bike I have to pull them off. Plus I won't use them. The GIVI kit use's the same signal lights as the factory, so I'm putting it back to stock and it appears there is a missing middle piece or adapter. Is there a piece that goes in between the signal light and the bike?

Thanks fellas.

It all depends on the type of rack you have. I have the Industries7 rack that Shawn put out back in 2008. I do have a bar across the back but if you have a different set up you may not have a connecting bar between the bags. Don't know if you can see it in this picture or not:

it runs between the turn signal lights.

:congrats: on your Spyder and welcome

As I recall you just take the light assembly off the adaptor and put it back on the plastic part of the Spyder in the original mount. There is just a couple of tabs to twist it in. There maybe a washer that needs to be put on the back behind the plastic. See page 126 in the link: here (http://www.spyderryders.net.au/PDF/SpyderParts.pdf). Hope this helps. BTW my set up is the Industries 7 style as well. The BRP racks or others might be different.
