Like it, a bit of sun and none of the obligatory wet stuff  :grin: 
- but can you tell me how you have the light mast fitted to the rear carrier?
I do a lot of rides with the RBL Riders here in Berkshire and I'm trying to sort a 'stable' mount for the flags/pennants. Currently thinking of a modified rack plate with the required extension for pole mounting points.

Pete

This picture show the pole mounting bracket.

I have a large ali plate that has replaced the Kawasaki plate and the pole bracket is bolted up into this ali plate.

The givi plate for the top box is bolted down into this ali plate  The extendable pole was made from a mop   :mfr_lol: and the beacon sites on a din connector as used on tractors and plant so it can be removed. The brackets for strobes ( but we don't talk about them here) are  pop riveted up onto the horizontal part of the pole bracket.

and I also have the larger "hairdressers" mirrors fitted too.

and definitely of no value to me as another  bald git!  but seeing as the top box always carreis the hair brush (and no purse  :oops:) the mirrors are well used by Pam
