I have a 2012 with the givi rack and oem bags. has anyone found a fender eliminator that works with this setup? I suppose it could be simple as using different signal lights that are shorter so they clear.

I have Muzzy's fender eliminator with Givi rack. To keep the rack off of the turn signals, I used nylon spacers between the rack mount plate and the fender eliminator, and of course longer bolts as well (boltdepot.com has the bolts in the needed lengths, something like 45 or 50 mm, I forget).

cool, thanks. can you post up a pic of your bike with the bags on and the fender eliminator? where did you get the spacers, just nylon washers or are they 1 or 2" thick?

Have a look at this link, it includes photos: GIVI Rear Rack + Fender Elim Doesnt Work

Here's a photo from the rear, but it doesn't really show the spacers.

that is great, thanks. so the spacers go where the fender eliminator bolts onto the bike to make it sit lower?

Exactly.

Thanks, I am ordering one now. I appreciate it a lot!

I just installed a Motodynamic integrated turn signal LED tail lamp so I could go with a basic fender eliminator since you don't need to mount the turn signals. It works great with the bags and has a much cleaner under the tail tag location. I am not sure what fender eliminator is on the bike since it was installed before I got it but it is very basic with a LED style tag light flush mounted inside the under-tail. This route is cheaper than the Yoshi mount and looks better.
