Can I fit my FZ6 rack to the tracer 900

[Gruffalo]

I'm hoping that someone can help me out, I have just ordered a Tracer with a rack (standaard from the accessories page).

I was wondering if any one had any experience of mounting another plate or using some kind of adaptor to make a (FZ6) yamaha top box fit it.

This is the rack I have on the FZ6:



This is the plate when removed from the rack:



This is my topbox:





And this is the Tracer rack as supplied by Yamaha:



Any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers

Can someone confirm that the plate on the Tracer 900 rack is held on by 4 screws, as my FZ6 rack is, anybody?

There was no easy way to make the old plate fit, not without drilling anyway. Luckily I'd arranged (with the salesman) to get a topbox for half the price if my old one didn't fit, so now I'm waiting on my new topbox

Based on my experience with Givi racks, the FZ6 rack and the Tracer rack are completely different. The Tracer rack mounts on one bolt on each side and the 2 at the back on top, plus 6 bolts to mount the Monokey plate (although the Givi plate only came with 4).

Thanks Andz, I guess I can't complain as I'm getting a new top box for half the price And I reacon that I can sell the old topbox together with the FZ6 rack.
