Hi Guys
Ive just recently purchased a givi e52 box and I am in the process of getting a givi rack for my fzs1000. I was going to purchase the M5 plate but I have also looked at the new M11 plate, has anybody already had experience of using the M11 plate ? if so is it just as easy to remove the topbox , is it anymore sturdy/secure , what does it look like on the bike.
Many Thanks

I know this reply is two months after your original post but I'll put it anyway in case you're not sorted or if anyone in a similar position comes across this thread.
Your box won't fit to an M11 any more securely than the M5 as the important bits (the Monokey mountings) are identical.
I have the M5 on my 2002 Gen1 FZS1000 with the E55 Maxia box and it is rock steady.
Whilst between Fazers, I also had the use for a couple of months of a Bandit 1250 (you won't tell anyone, right?).
This was fitted with the equivalent Suzuki specific, metal monokey plate and I have noticed no difference between the metal and nylon plates in the security of the box mounting.
I did a video on Youtube when I installed the Monorack and plate if anyone is interested in how easy it is to do yourself. Fitting a Givi Monorack and M5 Monokey Plate to my Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer 1000
There is also a video of my Givi E55 Maxia top box too here. Givi E55 Maxia NT Top Box. First Unboxing and Fitting
Hope this helps you (or anyone else) 
The fact that you can, doesn't always mean you should.

Hello,
I got an M11 plate on my Fazer for the sad reality of carrying a laptop on my commute. I never had an M5 but I would say the M11 is a much better fit for the Givi top box than the E43 Givi plastic plate I had on my BMW. No movement at all, unlike the E43 which did move a bit..
