Has anyone used newest Givi V47 Monokey Top case / Top Trunk?

And when you do get some grab rails fitted you may find the Givi brackets that attach to the top of them need a little bend to align with the givi top plate

I Strongly recommend placing all the bolts and nuts into place and leaving slightly loose enough to be able to wiggle it all into place before doing up the bolts

And lay all the bolts and washers out as they are to be mated to make sure they are all present and correctly paired (I am sure some Italian's drink red wine for breakfast and things can be a bit incorrect )

Also the bolts / nuts are metric

 

You should of gotten four thick spacers that insert into the handle bolt area to raise up for the bracket that attaches to the top of each handle. Maybe in the meantime you can use them.
Fiddle with it, it might work.

 

Spacers or aluminum tube from HD then cut to the length that fits.

Good idea and thanks Duc

 

Great, will do. Its funny i almost always have extra

Yes there are 4 thick spacers but ill spacers or aluminum tube to replace handles.

 

Hey guys,

Im so happy to get it on without grab handles. I use extra spacer and wolaaaaaaa. Next will be led lights. Look like i have some holes to drill.

 

Yah, dont ya love the pictures only installation instructions?
Like I think I mentioned, www.addmorelights.com is the way to go with the top box lights...break/turn/running + harness

 

I got this one hope it's the same one that you talk about. I thought it's the same and saved me 1 transaction.
Where do you drill the hole and did you connect hot wire to rear tail light?

Drilled dead center bottom, then covered with a rubber mat bought at pep boys.
Had it wired by a shop since I don't know shit about electrical, to the rear taillights with an inline fuze

 

This instructions is killing me. Its instructed to drill the top case. Also i m down to last 2 blue, red wires to connect to tail light but not sure green with yellow or brown with blue ::::scratch my head:::: 50/50 chance hahaha

 

Good luck

 

alright here you go. thank you Duc for getting back so quick.


Wiring for 2007:

Blue & Red connect to Tail Light (Brown with Blue wire)
Purple connect to Brake Light (Green with Yellow wire)
Green connect to Right Turn Signal (Light Blue wire)
Yellow connect to Left Turn Signal (Orange wire)
Black connect to Ground (Green)

side Note:

Like above suggestion: Place nuts in place but leave them loose to get Plate installed little easier.
look at wire color and connection adapter. I thought they should be faced same way but not.

 

Do you have problem split lane with this on?

 

Do it 250 miles a week. Big fat nope. Also have a brake strobe that works with the box as well

 

Awesome. Thank you for quick respond.

 

Those are standard JST connectors used in RC (radio controlled) servo wires. Someone did not crimp them in the right order, nor did they supply you with the bit that keeps the two pieces locked together.

 

Well done that looks really good

The widest part of the bike is the mirrors/handle bars the Givi bag hasn't caused me any problems with lane splitting in traffic

And believe me they will try and take you out by drifting into your space on purpose here in Brisbane (even though splitting /filtering is legal here under 30km/h)

I have even had 1 person get out of their car looking for a fight at a set of lights after I filtered past to the front of the Queue

He was red in the face and spitting whilst YELLING at me as to how illegal it was and then the lights changed and he was left standing amidst the moving cars
