GIVI

Ordered this to replace the V46 that has provided thousands of miles of secure and reliable storage. Unfortunately, as another reviewer also experienced, mine arrived locked with the keys either missing or locked inside. So, back it goes!

This thing is huge on the inside! I can put my helmet and all of my full body armor in this for safe keeping. Its tight, but it fits! Looks great on the bike, and Ill be upgrading it with the lights kit and remote entry because...why not?! A sweet and unexpected benefit that I cant mathematically figure out though...my bike is fully faired. So side winds can really shove me over sometimes. With this added, I dont know how but it completely counters the side wind. I can ride upright without having to lean to stay straight in heavy winds. Its not a small effect either. Its significant. That benefit alone is worth the purchase.

I really like the look and capacity, but there are a couple of issues. Fist of all, I feel like the brake light kit should be included and installed at the factory. Making it a self installed add on feels like a money grab on an already super expensive top of the line case. Furthermore, the connection system is kind of odd with spring mounted electrical connectors. Im not confident in the brake lights long term viability. Second, mine was missing one of the rubber washers used for mounting the case. Be sure to inventory prior to installation. I was so far along in the installation that I did not care to remove the entire thing and exchange it for a washer, but it did create a tiny bit of looseness going without. Third, the release to open the case is keyed with a separate push button. You should be able to remove the key with the case unlocked and just keep closed with the button latched, but you cannot. You have to lock the case in order to remove the key. If Im with the bike, I dont necessarily want the trunk locked. While there are a couple of issues, the case is very sturdy and has an excellent look. The build quality is rock solid.

I really, really like this top case. It is so much better than the one I had before. Very stylish and feels solid when latched. Thinking of adding the brake lights, but that adds a bit of an issue if you remove the case. I am quite pleased to have this on my motorcycle (V-Strom 1000). I also bought the backrest since we ride two up. It is also well made and we are very happy with the whole thing.

See above.

While I love Givi cases, two design flaws remain annoying. One, the keys have plastic tabs on them that break over time. Thats what led me to replace the first case with this new, more recent model. I noticed that the newer model also includes an all-metal key. Awesome. But then I discovered that the hinges on this model are plastic. Within days, the right hinge snapped. Come on. Who puts plastic hinges on a motorcycle case?? It was promptly returned. Amazon, as always, was great about the return. Im going to order the larger case to replace the one i just sent back.. Im hoping the larger, 54 liter model sports metal hinges.

Great case! Holds all my gear and is super convenient!

I have used this for about half a year now. I upgraded from the Bestem Top Case. The finish of this product is top quality. Just a little to pricey but this things deserves full stars.

Best investment you can make for a motorcycle. I waited and waited and finally found one of these beauties on sale. I know the reputation that GIVI has and I had absolutely no problems spending the money on this one. For me, this is the perfect size box. I dont usually store my helmet in it, so thats not an issue either. IF you have a small helmet and are creative, you can put two inside of this box. One has to be standing up and the other on its side with the top of the helmet facing outward. I wear a 2XL helmet, so its not happening lol. Box stays dry as a bone. The new latching system on this box is genius. Put in the key, press the button, and lift the lid. No more latch to handle with your hands which are probably full of gear to pack into the box. Then to close, take and press the lid, then remove the key. Now there is one thing you need to remember, you can take the key out of this one with the box open. So then you open yourself up to accidentally locking your key inside. Why would you put your key in the box? Im not sure but Ive seen it happen. So the rule that I exercise for myself is, Always leave the key in the lock until the box is closed. This one does not have the famous red document holder in the lid. Some tape and a ziploc fixed that for me. With the proper GIVI mounting plate, it snaps on and off with the push of a button. The way the handle is made, you could manage to pack this into a hotel or wherever as your luggage, but mine always stays on my bike. Several times Ive been able to cram this thing full of an endless amount of things. Going on a road trip next week so I really get to pack it tight. Ive been through plenty of thunderstorms with it and of course it stays bone dry on the inside. I also upgraded and got the luggage rack for the top of the box. Going to be perfect for mounting my tent and sleeping bag for the trip. Overall, this box is perfect! The silver matches my BMW F798GSA Perfectly. (Yes there is such a thing, just ask) Get one! You wont be Sorry!

Excellent top case. Fantastic quality as expected from Givi. Monokey system is solid and fits my Honda as if OEM. Holds 2 full face helmets easily - locks air and water tight. Extremely pleased.
