Which top box?

Post by gt-2047 »

Hi!

I have just purchased a 2006 AN400 Burgman (K7??) and would like to know which top box you guys would recommend.

I would like it to be lockable as well as detachable. i hear some boxes can be detached and used as luggage when touring etc. I am not too concerned about price as i would prefer to pay more and get a quality / sturdy / good looking product.

What do you all use?

you might have to register at givi to see the above,, but the givi racks are monolock or monokey then you buy a givi top box case whichever ltr size you want but the case you buy will have to be monolock or monokey to fit your rack , use the above link to find your rack then search ebay ... dealer etc for best price on that rack.. the rack will come with the mounting kit etc :D
I cant seem to remember.. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.

The two Givis I've mentioned are Monokey boxes - there are no boxes as big as these in the Monolock range.

The OP makes no mention of having a rack already on the bike so one assumes he hasn't got one.

Thanks for your help so far.
Waldorf is correct, i currently do not have any rack on the bike, so i assume this will also be something that i need to purchase.

I want the box to double as a pillion back rest too, but from what i see, that is just a case of buying a bolt on pad for the box(?)

I don't know where you're located but I've bought nearly all my Givi stuff from here:

Prices are generally quite competitive.

I was going to ask: is the 55 better than the 52 (discounting the fact it's a bit bigger) for anything other than æsthetics?
