kawasaki top box

[GTRTONY]

What bloody difference does the thickness of the plastic make. Fact is they dont burst open and scatter your assorted goodies all over the queens highway. Whats more I have never heard of anyone having the plate/ box break. I have used, and overloaded mine lots of times and it has never given me cause for concern.  As Steve says if your not happy with it send it back, then spend your cash on something else.

sorry but mine did just that on a trip to Switzerland. i ended up having to use a bungie cargo net to help keep it closed. my mates ended up calling the bike a 'KAWABUNGIE 1400' lol
i got a replacement under warranty, that is still flimsy and can be opened without a key. should have got a give

Geoff's statement is still valid since they don't have a monarchy in Switzerland. 
So if you stay within the borders of the UK as long as the queen is still alive you should be fine.

flimsy or thiner plastic means more movement within the hinges and catches ect , this means poor panel alignment which means more likely to pop open

I must have been lucky so far then. I put all sorts of shit in mine to go to the Cotswolds and it was fine.

[Rusty]

Yep .. mine has been fine too ..used most days and been to France etc and all is well.

I always thought the Kawasaki branded top boxes were made by Givi anyway.
They just have a Kawasaki top lid cover so I cant see what all the fuss is about..

Debs.....exactly!

Does the GIVI box fit onto the Kawasaki baseplate or do you have to get a baseplate for the GIVI ??

If they are the same top box then yes, but a Monokey wont fit on a Monolock & Vise Versa

Thanks. Looks like the Kawasaki is the monolock system then. Do you perhaps know whether or not Givi makes a 47 Litre monolock top box and what their product code/serial number is ? I have the Kawasaki 39L top box but need something bigger. I also want to be able to use both boxes without changing base plates if you know what I mean.

Deon, have a quick look at this site, by clicking into "my motorcycle" you should be able to see exactly what GIVI offer with relevant product codes etc., then you can search for the most competitive prices on the web....good luck

BTW ~ to all concerned..as I said before Kawasaki luggage is Kappa which is basically GIVI, (maybe under licence)

Heres the link to ALL the Monolock top boxes.

The 47L Kawasaki branded box I have is the Givi E470 SIMPLY III.

With the E470 SIMPLY III you can buy a colour coded lid top to match ur bike if you wish.

Hope this helps

[Deon]

Thanks for all the advice. Does anyone know if the baseplates are the same ?????

Deon

[O.C.]

base plates for Monokey will, I assume, be different to the ones for monolock Deon

[Debs]

The Monolock & Monokey are different base plates. But a Monolock base will fit ANY Monolock top box.

Watch the video I posted above ^^
