    Does anyone know where to get the Five Stars rear rack for the 6th gen? I'm looking for a source in the USA, or even a foreign site that I can order from? The parent company JF Motorsports sells directly from their website, but they do not accept credit cards from outside Germany.
    It is the best looking rack I've seen and at a very reasonable price of 69 Euros (about $85). It looks like it will work well with the factory sides case mounts, and a Givi monokey case mounts directly without a separate mounting plate.

    The picture is from Twisted Throttle, but they don't have it listed. They are selling the racks (for other bikes) for 3X what the manufacturer sells them for so I didn't bother to contact them about availability.

    I wanted to post and bump up your thread...I would like an answer to that question too: Where can I get one???

    I just ordered a top case from sears.com (go to that site and search "motorcycle travel trunk"). Looks like Just like a GIVI, but on sale for Father's Day for $32.49! At any rate, I need a mount and the Five Star top rack looks great.

    I ordered the rack from a German site, Motorrad Helme und weiteres Motorradzubehör im motoin Marken-Shop . They accept Paypal or credit card and they ship to USA. I ordered on Wednesday and got a shipping notice on Friday. I also ordered what they call the key-kit (poor translation), it's the mounting bits for Givi Monolock style cases. After currency conversion and shipping it's still well below the cost of any other rack available, I think it looks better than most, and it can mount a Monokey case without using a separate base plate. I'll report back after it arrives.
    Five Stars Delock Topcase rack, 57,98 €
    Five Stars Key-Kit for topcase racks, 5,71 €
    Shipping costs (Dispatch to US: (1 x 3 kg)): 15,90 €
    Total: 79,59 €
    The charge on my credit card was just under $96. plus a $2.87 foreign transaction fee.

    I saw that Sears has the boxes on sale. Reviews say the large one fits Givi Monokey mounts and the medium does not so I'm going to order the large one. I wanted the biggest one possible anyway.

    I got the rack today, 8 days after ordering. Faster service than some US companies. The rack bolts right on top of the OEM side racks. The grab handles won't fit, they would be too high and hit the passenger's legs. Without side racks you could bolt the rack on top of the handles.

    I'm still waiting for the top case. Sears' site says they are in stock but they canceled my order and told me they are no longer available.
