Wingrack and 2x fitting kits plus other odds and ends

[megah0]

I have a Givi Wingrack and 2x fitting kits available (less the expanding bolts as well, they have expanded in the frame tube and are not recoverable)

For sale as I have not used the hard panniers for over a year and the bike looks sleeker without it.

Set of E21 hard panniers and I have some 30L panniers also by Givi

Located in the Midlands in Oldbury.

I also have 2x front fairings in reasonable condition, Lower front fairings in Green in average condition.

Photos to follow in the next day or so

The expanding bolts can sometimes be recovered, but you have to get the technique right. The obvious thing to do is to slacken the bolt a bit and then pull it with mole grips. All this does is to pull the conical nut into the expanding bolt, and tighten the expanding bolt further.

You need to slacken the bolt a little bit (5mm is a good start), then whack it with a hammer. The bolt should still be screwed into the conical expander, so hitting it should disengage the cone from the actual expanding bolt. Now it s time for the mole grips, but do not apply them to the allen bolt. Instead, grip the silver disc which is the end cap of the expanding bolt. Twist and pull, and the expanding part should eventually come out, bringing the allen bolt with it and the conical bit should be on the end of the allen bolt.

If that doesn't work, try slackening the allen bolt another 5mm. You need to find the sweet spot where the conical bit is slack enough to allow the expanding bolt to come out, but has not yet fallen off the end of the allen bolt.

PS Forgot to ask - are these for the 600 or 900 Divvy? If for the 600, which years? The mounting kit changed slightly for the 1996 (or was it the '97 model year?). When the new two part side panels were introduced, Yamaha also redesigned the luggage mounting points.

If it is for an early 600, I would be interested in a mounting kit, if it includes the expanding bolts or I can work out a raw bolt which will fit.
