I saw the posts about those bars, though I can rotate them they don't seem loose enough to rattle. I was thinking a little thin epoxy, allowed to wick into the junctions might stop it if that's indeed the source. I'm going to try strapping a short bungee cord between them as a test.Tyke said:I also have the Givi outback top box, and agree that it is a great box.
I also experience the rattle that you refer to and think that it originates from the two top/side strapping bars as they seem loose in their fittings.
I'm wondering if I apply a small amount of silicone to the areas where the bars enter their securing brackets, if that will that sort out the problem....the rattle is quite noticeable
BTW I have used the higher profile buffers on the mounting plate
With respect to the buffers, I wonder if Givi has changed something?. I was up on a step stool pressing down on the case to the point I was tipping the bike back on the rear wheel and compressing the suspension (I feared pushing it off the center stand to push much harder) and I could not bring the rear catch close enough to "clack" in. The lower profile ones took about the same amount of force to latch as the Givi E460 I have on my ST1300. Maybe it's specific to the plate I used?? Dunno, but it was not going to go with the higher bumpers in there.
