I’m still getting acquainted with the forum and my bike, so go easy on me. I just picked up an ’02 VFR last week (and loving it but that’s a-whole-nother post). The guy I bought the bike from had totaled his previous ’02 but didn’t have his OEM hard cases on it when he crashed. So he threw in the cases with the sale, but never put the rack on the replacement bike which I bought. Based on the posts I’ve seen it sounds like the Givi rack and the OEM rack are interchangeable, but I wanted to confirm this because it does sound like there are some subtle differences (profile only?). So my question is…will the Givi rack work with the OEM cases or do I need to spend the extra $100+ for the OEM rack? If I can use the Givi rack, I’m not entirely clear on which rack to get…PL166 or the PLX166? If I need to get the OEM rack, any recommendations on a good site? The one I found was selling the rack alone for almost $300. Thanks!
