I just ordered a new Honda Vision to replace my aging 2012 Vision. There was some confusion with the dealer over fitting a top box. The one I wanted is a Givi E300N2 and Padgetts said they can only order via GIVI and there was at least a two week backlog so I just said I would get it myself. I found this here. https://www.xlmoto.co.uk/motorcycle-acc ... lsrc=aw.ds
Thats pretty much the one I have now on the old bike. (I dont want to swap it over as its well battered)
According to the GIVI website I think I need this also. SR1153 Specific rear rack for MONOLOCK® top-case
to be combined with the plate already included in the MONOLOCK® top-case https://www.givi.co.uk/my-motorcycle/pr ... ase/e300n2
Do these look right? How does it all fit together and is it pretty straight forward enough for a mechanical numpty to fit with a couple of spanners?

Yes, you need a rack specific to your scoot, a mounting plate that fits to the rack (universal I think), and the right sort oftopbox, which will fit on any mounting plate. Don't get your Monolocks and Monokeys mixed up - its SO confusing! As far as I can see. All the things you mention seem to be Monolocks so you are fine.
Don't ask me about fitting.....the rack is the trickiest bit, though some are easy and some harder - some require drilling holes. The plate is quite easy, but well beyond my capabilities!

Instructions are here. It looks like it just bolts to the existing rack, no drilling required.
Thanks folks. I think I got it sorted. Most of the online sites that offer this Givi box and mount at the keenest prices seem to be in mainland Europe and you cant speak to anyone. This place though is UK and I got a very helpful chap on the phone yesterday. He is going to call me back Monday morning and sort it all out. https://www.brandedbiker.co.uk/ I think what ill do is just get him to ship it to Padgetts and let them mount it. It will hopefully get done right then.
I did try and wangle a free box and free delivery but no chance. Having called round all the Honda Dealers nobody apart from Padgetts had any Visions in Stock and certainly not in Red. I got the chance of a white one but didnt want that colour so I reckon I got the only Red Honda vision for sale in the country. Seems they are in demand and there are real stock issues. There is a waiting list thats ever growing longer. The guy in Colwyn bay said I could be waiting until July! So I wasnt really in a good haggling position!

Seriously, it's 8 bolts into holes that are already there. Unless the dealer is going to fit it for free I'd save yourself a load of money and do it yourself, or get a friendly local biker to help you for the cost of a pint if you're not confident enough.

I've got that top box on my J300. It comes with a mounting plate which just happened to fit easily to the built in standard rack that the J300 has.
I'm very happy with the whole set up and the box is nicely proportioned for the scoot......

had a ride on a new 2021 vision 110,is it different o yes,feet cannot go as far back as my 2019 vision,still not bad though,brakes are better/seemed smoother,tried the stop/start it works just twist and go.but the biggest thing is the lack of go from 35 mph.
very slow might be the lack of miles just 1200,could be only used for short jorneys,i did pin it,but i think its being euro 5 that does it.
would i p/x my 2019 no.
