What Pannier Rack Is This?

[Premises187]

Can anyone tell me what pannier rack this is?
Also more importantly can I use any monokey side box on it?

I ask because the rack is slanted in with the bike and I'm worried that if I buy a normal monokey side box that wont clip on right.
I know the Givi V35 PLX will fit and look great on this rack but I really cannot justify spending £300 for two plastic boxes.

Also if I did buy a normal side box would they be fitted at an angle? Like a pannier V shape.

Thanks for putting up with noob questions.

it looks like it says Givi on the side.

I don't know about Givi racks but I have a Kappa rack (KLX) that is exactly the same type and it can only accept K33 side panniers.

So if you get straight boxes they won't fit that rack.

I think the V35 PLX's are the only ones that will fit it. They're great bags, but if you've got dreams of cheaping out and buying some E21's, they will NOT fit it. I have them. Or you could just get a big top box...?

I just installed my Givi racks for E21s on mine and the receiver for the lock looks identical to mine, so I'm assuming this is Givi. Also, looking at this, looks like it. I vote Givi PLX mount rack. It is only compatible with V35s, unfortunately.

Ahhh the Kappa K33n panniers actually do fit the V35 PLX racks.

SIDE CASES MOTO KAPPA K33 MONOKEY SIDE SAME AS GIVI V35 on eBay (end time 31-Mar-11 21:27:44 BST)
Quote from ebay seller

The side cases Kappa K33 can fit racks either type KLX (produced by Kappa) or racks type PLX (produced by GIVI).

The price of Kappa is slightly better though.
Will see what can be found.

That seller (despite being in Italy) actually has the best price on K33's
£210 including shipping.

Little off topic but don't you have a moto vlog youtube account?

The side racks only accept givi v35 or kappa k33

The top one has a monokey plate on it

so any of these will fit or their kappa counterpart

Last month, I bought a pair of Givi V35 panniers on e bay Italy. 255 euros p+p included. I'm in France, delivery within 7 working days. Would have had to pay 450 euros had I bought them in a shop in France.
Having said that, I had to speak a few words of Italian, which I don't, but a friend does :thumbup:
I had bought the support rack 2nd hand for 57 euros (instead of 150 euros) so was committed to buying the V35 panniers. The support rack is the plx351. You'll find everything on the givi website.
In others words, if that is the plx351 that you have, you can get the V35 panniers for about 200 pounds, I reckon.

Come to think of it, they're 390 euros, not 450 euros. Still far too much, as you say, for two plastic boxes!

Do a little search on this forum and you'll find at least two descriptions of how to install the racks, although yours are already installed. Watch out for your indicators though, which will have to be moved and for which you'll need the little mounts that are sold with the rack, without which you'll have to make some (my current problem).

I've just looked at your photo again. Looks like your indicators have already been changed position.

Yep, that's how the bike came. Although I do feel the way that them cables are routed is a bit dodgy.
