Re: [St] Kappa Givi top box rack

["Jeremy Witt" <jeremywitt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found that my Triumph top box has multiple cracks throughout the lower
portion, no doubt from the original accident that eventually brought it to
me, and occasional over packing by me.  So, since Triumph wanted over $450
for the lower and $550 for the entire assembly last year, I am thinking of a
larger Monokey top box option, since I am very spoiled by the storage
ability, despite the looks.

Has anyone mounted a Givi top box to an existing Triumph rack?  Definitely a
cheaper way to go than the dealer.  

TIA,
J

The E33 is  from GIVI's monolock range.
 
 This range is lighter ( and cheaper ) than the original monokey  range. The

monolock was introduced for smaller bikes and scooters as they  are lighter 
than the stronger monokey boxes.   
 
I've got a monolock E470 on my Sprint and it works fine, although it is not

as robust as the Triumph panniers which came with the bike. 
 
The recommended max carrying is 3kg ( about 6.5lbs )  but as I only  use it 
for storing the helmets in when parked up that is not a problem. 
 
My honeycomb buckled too !
