The stock rear case on the Motus, like the side bags, are made by Givi. The factory rear rack of the Motus is a well-engineered unit, but the stock Givi Monokey carrier is a bit..ugly. The Givi mount stays on the bike when not using the case. The below is my version of an alternative to a Givi Monokey rack. This rack does not apply to a Givi Monolock top case, only the Monokey. The difference between the two can be seen HERE.
Start with the factory Motus rack...
The Motus rack was used as a template to develop the alternate rack. The factory rack has angled side mounts that would make it difficult to replicate on a wider rack. Instead, the alternate rack will be mounted to the Motus rack mounting holes already in place. More holes were required on the back end of the rack, so matching bottle openers were cut in place.
Factory cutouts will be duplicated as well as a cutout for the Motus logo. Mounting, Givi hardware, rubber bumper, and strap slots were located. Prototype on paper was printed and cut for test fitting of the rack and a soft topcase...
Off to the laser cutter to do one sample in brushed stainless steel and one in aluminum. The racks were deburred and powder coated...
The end results turned out exactly what I was looking for.
