Riderhaus client Rich McNabb sent us some pictures and a report of his modification to make the Five Stars "Flat Metal" racks fit his '01 Ducati M750 Dark. Apparently, the Five Stars racks were designed for Monsters which have a four-hole pattern in the rear subframe. Ducati appears to use the either the three- or four-hole pattern rear subframe arbitrarily. Riderhaus has yet to determine which pattern is used with which year/model of Monster. Rich fabricated a special plate which allowed the rack to fit quite nicely to his later model M750. We recommend that Monster owners determine which style rear subframe they have prior to ordering this part. Thanks, Rich!

Riderhaus client Tim Keil recently sent us a series of detailed images of his '99 Honda VFR800. Tim mounted the Five Star top and side luggage racks, as well as matte black Givi E21 Cruiser sidecases and an E35 Traffic topcase. These images also show good detail of critical installation points, including the toprack and left-side siderack support brace, which are both frequent question areas.

Riderhaus client Alex Harper recently sent us a series of detailed images of his '97 Suzuki GSF1200. Alex mounted the Five Star top and side luggage racks, as well as matte black Givi E36 Elegant sidecases. These images also show good detail of the installation process, as well as the finished appearance. Early model Bandit clients should take note of the toprack and left side rack brace mounting points, as these are frequent question areas.

Riderhaus client Matt Milanowski recently sent us a series of well composed, high quality images of his Yamaha FZ1. Matt mounted the Five Star top and side luggage racks, as well as matte black Givi E360 Delux sidecases. Take a look at these great pictures for a close-up tour of Five Star and Givi quality and practical good looks. These images also show good detail of a completed installation, filling in many of the gaps left by the line-diagram installation instructions.

Michael Mims originally added SW-MOTECH sidecarriers and Givi E41 sidecases to his bike. SW-MOTECH and Givi don't make a topcase carrier that's compatible with the SW-MOTECH detachable sidecarriers, so Michael modified a Five-Star topcarrier to allow the addition of a Givi topcase to his bike. Here's how!

Riderhaus client Tim De La Torre recently sent us these images with detailed captions that are a great tutorial for installing the Five Stars racks and Kappa K40 luggage cases on a BMW F650. Many thanks to Tim for his efforts in putting this together to help his fellow riders. These tips would also be helpful to anyone installing Five Star racks, as Five Star racks for all models share many similar features. Great work, Tim! THANKS!!!
