2014 RT Givi mount?

[paRTy]

Hello-

I have a v46 Givi top case that I'd like to mount on a 2014rt. I'm getting differences of opinions.

 

Givi says the E193 will not work on the 2014. They had to take off their catalog. Revzilla shoes an E193 for the 2014. Some folks here say that it works, but doesn't fit great, or right?

 

Givi part for the 2014 (new mount) is not available yet. Aluminum mount for $199. Yikes.

 

Anyone have any pics of the mount on a 2014RT? And if so, are you happy with it? Is it solid. I want my wife to ride with it when she can join me, so safety is utmost.

 

Thanks for your replies in advance.

Check out this post from ryan_ca1. Proof enough for me that it will work.

The only issue I could see is a clearance problem with the attachment plates that you have to place on the bottom of your rack. Maybe you'll have to unbolt the rack and mount the plate, then reattach the rack?

My hubby has the 14 RTW and he researched this issue completely. He ended up using the E251 composite mount. He has a v47 topcase . the E251 rack mounts directly to the BMW rack. The bolts supplied by givi are not long enough for the front. You will need to buy ones that are 10mm to 1/2" longer. The finished setup is very secure.

Thanks - appreciate the link.

I'm using the Givi e193 topcase rack. I took it off my 2006 RT and put in on the 2014. There were zero issues - I used the same bolts, etc.

 

I've been using it daily for months, and it's completely solid.

Sorry to bring up such an old post. I just installed the E193. It was a little finicky to line up but worked out well. A question I have is did you use a torque setting to tighten the mounting bolts? Or how tight did you make them?

Thanks.

I just guessed at hand tight plus a quarter turn. So far, has not come loose over 6,000 miles.

Revzilla seems to be out of stock on the E193. Any suggestions on where else to fine one?

I just bought one through Touratec. They told me it was the only one in the US. Give them a try that was two weeks ago. Good luck. GT

Call Revzilla on the phone- I did and asked about the mount and they called GIVI, who in turn had them in stock. Revzilla then sent me an invoice to buy, at their same price. This was a couple weeks ago, so not sure if still available, but Revzilla offered great customer service.

 

I ended up getting the 28L BMW case in the long run from somewhere else, but call them and give it a shot, they may still be able to do the same deal.

Revzilla set me to Turatec! Gt

Too funny.

Try these guys. Not sure if it's current, but worth a shot.
