Thats exactly what i needed to know, thanks. I was going to try and make my own adapter up but the Givi adapter seems to place the box further back which saves me booting it everytime i try to swing me leg over. cheers

Make your own adaptor, i did for the xtr and got to position it where i wanted. and if i really wanted to i could make another bracket which would allow me to move it between positions but dont need to so will not bother.

Hopefully the photo shows this:

I too have a Givi Maxia topbox which i used on my previous bike (NT700V) with no problems. Have ordered the mounting plate so i'll use it on my Tenere. I can see the concerns regarding too much weight at such a high and rearward place but the answer is simple: load most of the heavy stuff in the panniers and tabk bag and keep the topbox for light items.
Incidentally, does anyone know if the genuine yamaha panniers can be fitted with a givi top box setup? I can't forsee a problem with it, just wondered if anyone had experience of fitting both items together on the bike..

I got a piece of Ali Checkered plate and shaped it with a grinder, lined up the 2 bolt holes on the grab handles and the 2 holes at the back, drilled them through, bolted it on and positioned the givi rack on top where i wanted it and bolted it on, Whole thing cost �5 and theres no way its coming of.
With the givi rack on you can hardly see the ali plate.
BTW i got ungraded in metal work cse, I'm such a dumb ass.

55 Tech Top Box?

Is anyone still out there monitoring this thread? I'm curious if there's any further observations/thoughts on these.

I'm probably going to be using my Ten for courier work in Sydney, and I think I'm about to pull the trigger on a Givi E55 Tech top box for that purpose (well, and to improve day to day utility in general). I'd also be getting the brake light kit, for obvious reasons.

I reckon it'd be great for long trips on road, but would obviously leave it at home when I'm planning to get more gravel in my travel.

Anyone suggest cheapest possible supplier (around Sydney I guess)?

check if you can get any Kappa boxes. They are made at the same factory as Givi, are 100% compatible and cheaper.

Just make sure you buy the correct plate ie Monolock or Monokey for which ever box you buy.
The picture 5 posts up of the mounting plate is a Monokey.

Thanks guys, that's great. I managed to jag another job, so it looks like I won't be doing the courier gig after all. But I will still probably get a top box for general use, so you points are well taken. The Kappa boxes sound like they might be a better option too. As much as I like the Givi ones, they do cost a heap. :087:
