Title: Top box.
Post by: Mikey on May 25, 2017, 09:15:21 AM
I'm now the proud owner of a Kawasaki (Givi) top box and universal fitting plate. I intend to use this on my new steed. Only problem is it's green and got Kawasaki written on it.

Is it possible to change the green bit for a black bit or do I have to look for a more drastic approach?

I'm fairly certain that most Givi boxes have removable/swapable cover plates. You'd just need to find the corresponding Givi equivalent box type (eg V47) and hunt down a new plate.

eg eBay item 192091682389

Cheers

Thanks Paul.

So next question has to be how do I find out which Givi box it is?

Look on the Givi website there are pictures of all variants. There is also a list of spare parts. If it is genuine Kawasaki box then the top cover may be available only from Kawasaki. There used to be a very helpful Givi dealer in North Wales but I can't remember his name at the moment so will have a look at my old invoices in the loft later for his name.
I think Kawasaki used to do 2 different boxes, 38 and 47 litre.

Cheers, I'll have a look.
