Givi boxes.. HELP!

[skooage]

Thanks for all the replies guys!

You say you've got the FZ6 04-06 which is the same one I have and I've got Givi kit too.

First and most important question is: do you just want a top box or will you want panniers too? The reason being that, due to the underseat pipes, you need a special rack which bolts onto the sides of the exhaust to put the panniers on and mounting that requires disassembling part of the back of the bike to get it in place. (You may also need to get some extra wiring and connectors to move the indicators!)

I think at the moment I'm going to be going for the top box only, but we'll see how it goes, so hopefully that should be easier.

My 2005 FZ6 underseat exhaust, has a pair of Scorpion cans sticking out the rear, I bought a Givi topbox mount from evilbay, the brackets go around the cans and I had to make new ones as the original ones were too small, they would have fitted round the original cans no problems though, IMHO I would fit this kit if you are fitting a 46 litre topbox as it does not put strain on the rear grabrails, if you go the Givi route there are two differant kinds of fitting (monokey or monolock) you just need to but a differant top plate to fit one or the other, I could post pictures for you if you are interested.

I am looking at the 46ltr, so maybe that option would be better. Pictures would be great if you could! Haven't a clue on how these things attach or whatever. What's the difference between the Monokey and the Monolock box? is there a significant advantage?
