givis2_0001.jpg - The new Givi kit on the Sportster. The Sportster was setup as a 1-up sport-tourer, but since I'm selling my other bike, the Sportster will now handle occasional 2-up duties for riding with the kids. I had the side bag racks mounted on a removeable rack so the entire kit could be removed as an assembly.

After adding the 2-up seat, the new luggage rack is smaller and doesn't have room to mount the bag racks (Givi Wingracks). They're now affixed to the bike, independent of the luggage rack.

This kit still includes the E21 side bags and the E45NJ top case.

givis2_0009.jpg - The spacers for the upper two mounting points are made from electrical conduit with 3/8" nuts pressed in to act as bushings to keep the 5/16" bolts lined up in the center of the conduit spacer. This view also shows the top end of the lower mount point bracket, which is made from 3/16" flat bar steel stock.
