I have just ordered from Kawasaki UK a top box with Colour matched insert. I'm a bit miffed now as I have just learned that this box is a Monolock, not Monokey. Being the official box I would have thought they would have used the monokey, being the better system. Paid £247.00 and a tad disappointed, should have purchased a Givi Monokey and got the lid painted to match the bike.
Should have asked here first :wink:
My bike came with the topbox, I rode home, took it off and put it in the loft. However mine is Green.

So did mine.........nice colour the green don't you think Mr Doebag :yes:
It's a £47 box and a £200 lid. ,,,,,, :mfr_lol:
Marcus, if you've just ordered it.....cancel it. There are better boxes out there.

Hi marcus.
I picked up a brand new givi V46 monokey for £145.00 fro a site called easyrider Europe. ( who are Honda in Stafford ).
they sell various sizes new and ex display. :yes:
Just remember to be careful about fastening anything to the plastic carrier at the rear of the bike. We've had a couple of reports where this broke whilst riding (Kwak box). My Shad uses a metal plate to fasten to the rails or you can use some aftermarket replacement carrier made of metal.
Yup lost my case on my 09

I purchased the sw motech plate for the V46 monokey top box its powder coated machined aluminium and for £10 extra all in I think it was £145 delivered it has the box fittings on no need for the adaptor plate just swap with the standard plastic one on the bike ( use the same four fixing bolts ) a bit dearer but I think it looks better somewhere on here there are picture or Google heroblobs :yes:.

Yes, ,definitely....DEFINITELY ditch the original plastic carrier rack. Mine broke last week, being chased down the road by my own top box was not fun.
i had 4 x GTRs used the same box and base plate, fully loaded in all kinds of terrain have done in xs of 80,000 Miles and never has come off / loose / unstable so i would say a good top case all in all. I do know that Givi make the Kwak top box and it is a copy of their 'SIMPLY' Design ( as Nightrider has pointed out the original price ).
I plan on using the case on my latest bike ( z1000sx ) as soon as i have a rack.

I have mounted a Peli 1400 case to the original rack.
I only wanted a small case as I seldom carry pillion and hate the buffeting from a big topcase. I use it for odds and sods, helmet cleaner/rag, tools, chargers etc. Being a Peli case its hard as nails, and totally waterproof. Personally, I think it suits the bike, but I might remove the handle one day. Its permanently fixed with 4 x M8 stainless bolts drilled through the base of the peli case which line up with the slots on the rack. Cost about £90 altogether. You can put padlocks on each side but I don't bother as I don't leave anything of any value in it.
I'm trying to post a pic up. but my htc one is refusing to talk to the pc at the moment.

:agree: Thanks Debs, just like that one, but a little bigger. Have a look on www.jitpak.com
I Finally managed it. Just to give an idea of scale. Hope this works as I'm not massively great with computers.
It took me a while to focus in on the Peli case because of all the clutter in your garage. :mfr_lol: Now that I can see it, it looks fine, I used to have one for my camera gear, & they're as strong as an ox.

Grass doesn't grow on a busy street, nor do innovations happen in a tidy garage! :gun_bandana:
