I recently purchased a Givi PL rack and Givi GRT709s bags. I finally got to try to install them and I was concerned about the bags sitting to close to the exhaust. Lo and behold, it is reaaaally close to the exhaust. I'm under the impression with heavy load it might actually rest on the exhaust (or if the air pushes it down, etc).
I took some pictures so you guys can see how close it is. Bag had some medium to light load in it.
Any solutions? I guess a heat shield might work but then the shield will be permanently touching the bags. Also the shield would sit very high on the exhaust.
I'm thinking I might need to return them. I definitely don't want to destroy $600 bags.
Thanks.
