I suppose thats one nice thing about the Thibault Engineering / Industries 7 GIVI rack design over the GIVI design. They relocate the turn signals to a small tab on the rack that has the same cutout as the BRP plastic that the turn signals came from. It keeps them up in the same area instead of relocating them to the fender like you are saying the GIVI rack does.

And it looks like to BRP mounting bracket for the BRP branded Givi bags will do similar to the Industries 7 rack.

We almost ordered the GIVI bags from GIVI through the dealer because of the price difference. The GIVI racks were not available (so we ordered from Industries 7) and I am glad they weren't available after I saw a pic someone had put on this forum. At present there may not be any alternative, but someone will come up with an idea for the turn signals and the GIVI racks. You may be that one!

We also did the Industries7 rack for the side bags (and mated it to Kewl's tail rack). VERY pleased with the result! I would think having the signals on the fender would subject them to much vibes and would require bulb replacements (JMNSHO).

I have an idea for someone with the tools to do it. Make an extension coming out of the same holes the lights are connected to. Move the lights farther back using this extension and remount them on the end of the extension. Shouldn't have any weight stress problems. The lights are pretty lite in weight.

Mounted the rack but the blinker position looked plain ugly.
My solution, obtained short stem units from mail order and mounted them in the original holes. wiring was fairly straightforward, just nip off the originals and crimp on spade fittings which hide up in the original positions. The bulbs in the units are 12v 23w so plenty bright enough.
cant post a picture as my camera and computer are not talking to each other !!!

My initial reaction to the fender mounted turn signals was the same, what were they thinking? They now have a wire loom that assists with the installation of the turn signals so you don't have to be McGiver, but it doesn't solve the rear fender location. I have been trying to design some decent looking brackets to relocate them back up where they were while also asking Givi if the BRP rack turn signal bracket will work. No answer yet. In the meantime, I have started to get used to them on the fender. Like windshields, risers, mirror extensions, and other mods, what looks bad to some doesn't look as bad to others. All I know is that for the $170 difference in price between the Givi and I7, I will leave them on the fender until I or someone figures something out.

Sorry Sorry Sorry, forgot to mention the overall length of the blinker must be no more than 3 1/2 inches with the Givi rack as clos fitting as it is. Any longer and it will foul the rear of the case.
Getting old and forgetful
Best of luck

They may be very, very bright, but they are not DOT approved. Not sure that anyone would ever know that.

Help!
I'm wanting to put Givi hardcases on my Spyder, so all of the comments are very helpful. Where would I find the Industries 7 Givi rack? I'm not finding it on line.
Thanks!

We ordered ours through the dealer. If you go to Industries 7 site, you can find a contact email and I believe phone number. Maybe they can direct you if your dealer can't order for you.

Wow! Thanks for the speedy information! I'll check the website and call the dealer in Portland where I bought my bike.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, there are 3 options for mounting Givi bags:
1. InD 7 rack system.
2. Givi Rack system.
3. Soon to be release BRP rack system.
Is this correct?
Anyone actually seen the BRP rack? I read the BRP rack can be detached in a matter of minutes - which would be nice.

Not sure about the BRP rack but my I7 rack can be detached in minutes also. Two bolts under the seat, muffler hanger bolt and a corresponding one on the other side, and one screw at the tip of the underseat pan. Add another 5 - 10 minutes for popping the turn signals off the rack and putting them back on the Spyder's side panel and I figure 15 - 20 minutes tops to go from I7 rack to stock. You could probably cut that time in half if you did if fairly often.

I have not seen the BRP/GIVI mount, but if it's the GIVI mount, then it's probably going to be turn signals on the fender. I have the Industries 7 setup and it's VERY well put together! We are very satisfied with it. If you have any questions, call Magic, he sells them.

I was thinking about this and it would make sense that the BRP rack would actually be the same as the Givi rack. I've seen the IND7 and was impressed.

Does this look like they moved the turn signals?

I can't tell from the angle. They also mention a quick-release for the brackets themselves.

Okay, it seems the Givi mount that someone posted about actually mounts the turn signals onto the back fender. Found a photo of it at premiercycleaccessories.com.
Looks terrible.
It now appears the BRP rack setup is different than the Givi because the turn signals don't get relocated.
