    Lightbulb Video - Installing a Givi Monokey Topcase on a Sport Rack (2013 Spyder ST)

    Hey SL!

    Completed my first "farkle" to the Spyder this weekend with the installation of a Givi Top Case. I captured some video along the way for a new VLOG that I'm starting. Primary topics of the VLOG will be Spyder information/maintenance/upgrades/cruises and DIY projects around the house (I've customized just about every room in our home with everything from mock frame trim to building a custom fire place to building my son's fire truck loft bed from scratch with working lights, etc. I even design/built a 12x8 2-story playhouse for the kids in our basement by hand).

    So, this is the first entry in that new creative endeavor. Video walks through my attempt to install the wrong part and then the eventual corrected approach to installing a Givi E251 Universal Monokey Adapter onto the Sport Rack without compromising the integrity of the sport rack itself.

    Feedback is appreciated (but this is the first one, so go easy on me, yeah?)

    Nice job! And great creative solutioning.
    I have the same box, but with the BRP backrest, so the mount is the variant with the gas-adjustable lever.

    The video quality is great...very clear, and showing exactly what you are describing at each step.
    I had some issues with the audio a couple times...got a little "robotic" at parts...resolved by pausing and starting again, but it might have just been my connection.

    Do you still have the mounting plate that came with the top case? I would be willing to buy it if you wanted to sell it.
