Top Box swapping

[viper]

Looks nice and sturdy but what kind of top box fits on that? 
Mine surely won't! 

It takes the standard kawasaki box, which is a givi monolock, the rack just looks different thats all

Does the box wobble on it at all?

Probably not 'wobble' but rattle for sure.

For sure it does not rattle, its a tight sliding fit

Those two last plates are for the monolock top boxes.

Both are "female" plates where the pins are on the boxes.

Every other base I've seen so far had rubber spacers to prevent rattling, so I'm surprised if yours won't rattle.
But if you say so I won't argue.
Where can I get one and how much?

The pads are then mounted on my plate, does not vibrate, do not swing the trunk.

ive put the rubber feet on the underneath of the box.

Its not something you can buy as I made it . I fabricated it to be a nice tight fit, is a combination of the original gtr rack and the monolock givi rack, Upon inspection the wobble was down to the two plastic racks and the way they attached together, the arms on my  2010 GTR are fairly sturdy and by getting rid of the plastic combo and replacing with aluminium billet made it all quite acceptable.

this is very sturdy

Viper that looks fantastic , and just the job if like me you prefer to retain the Kawasaki 47ltr box. I dont suppose if I cross your palm with gold you could create one for my bike

[viper]

TBH , once you have paid for the materials and my cost of all the man hours of work and postage ect It just would work out too expensive for you .  I dont think its professional enough to sell, its basically hand made rather than that off a CNC machine. The catch is hand fashioned and the slots in it have cutter marks that I cant get into to sand the out. The aluminium wont stay that mirror finish for long, each year it will need a repolish

I posted a how to on another forum if anyone wants to have a go at making their own.

Its worth pointing out that the GIVI base plate and monokey top box on my bike are all standard fitment.

My point is that if you look closely at the pictures of said GIVI plate on my bike as shown on page one of this thread, you will see that I have glued extra rubber (tap washers) to the cushion/pads that come as standard with the plate. The reason for this is that the GIVI top box rattles on the GIVI plate, and it is bloody annoying 

I contacted GIVI about this, and they sent me two more cushions to replace the standard ones that came with their plate, but alas the extra cushions they sent are identical to the orignal ones, so they don't improve the fitment...Its a problem with the kit, which is now solved with the aid of the tap washers...amazing eh

your fix for sure does almost solve the problem. I found with my set up that the givi plate is bolted to the gtr plate and there is movement between the two , not rattling , thats solved with your fix but still a fair bit of flexing. the gtr plastic plate is fairly pathetic and anything attached to this will just compound the movement.
