I don't own any Givi products but to my understanding makes great products.. There is an obvious flaw in their jig being off some as this isn't a one time occurance. In the first case just breaking riding over bumpy roads, IT SHOULD NOT BREAK. Had it been dropped, perhaps, it would have done its job. The second one, breaking after 5 months in the same area, WTF?
Looking at the original pictures, its very obvious either Yamaha engines are machined with a LOT OF SLOP in the main engine mounting holes (not) or Givi's jig if off just enough to cause problems.
Problems do arise in new products however, it should be addressed by the manufacturer and corrected..
Getting the runaround from GIVI as (they MADE the guard) IMHO is un-acceptable and piss poor customer service.
Folks spend enough for the part, they shouldn't have to pay again, to get it fixed correctly...
8:23am, FYI, I just forwarded this entire thread to GIVI headquarters. When/if I hear anything from them, I'll post it
I did receive an e-mail back from GIVI (with a link to THIS THREAD), they would look into it..
