Plan to do a adapterplate for GIVI Monokey Box, need help

[bacaruda]

Not a GTR rider anymore (sold my black one 1 year ago) and transformed to the dark side (BMW that is).
As there wasn't any good top box fastening option avaliable for my R1200RS I designed my own and had 6 unit manufactured. The response among fellow RS-riders were pretty good so I have made 2 dozen more and plan for more.

I would like to manufacture a adapterplate to accomodate GIVI monokey top box for the GTR as well and have started working on a design.

Can someone help me with the measurement of the 4 fastening holes? (see drawing)

Most grateful for any help.

That looks extremely interesting.
I was considering one of the type that Phil's Farkels do.
Your prototype look like something similar and I'd be interested in one when you have them up and running.
Can you be a bit more specific with the info that you need.

Looking more closely at your diagram I can see what you need.
I will be able to take measurements tomorrow for you.

Hi.
The space between the 4 screws that bolts the luggage rack to the bike. (the measurements with questionmarks on the drawing).

I will make a prototype in a 3D printer to test out correct position of box etc.

Ok Johan
I am a prospective customer!

I'd be a potential customer for this if the price is right!
I'm definitely not happy with my current SW-Motech solution (http://www.bykebitz.co.uk/brands/sw-motech-and-bags-connection/sw-motech-alu-racks/kawasaki-gtr1400-2007-onwards-alu-rack.html + an additional cheap plastic adaptor plate). It rattles around all over the place and looks fugly!

If Johan can be a lot more competitive in his pricing then it'll be a popular product I suspect.
The alternative is as follows but it's too expensive for me!

Pretty sure I can beat that with some margin, but can't be specific before im further in the design.
The plate that I have made for BMW R1200RS will sell for 138 EURO incl. the adapter for GIVI Monokey top box attachment.
That design is pretty complex, I belive that the GTR one will be easier to manufacture. some picture of the final R1200RS product.

It all comes down to complexity of the design and the amount of machining involved.
I will try to find another swedish GTR1400 owner that can serve as test-jigg.
