thanks for those, first 1 threw me a bit, bike in the background confused me :smt040 you'd reccomend it then? would it be worth colour coding it? yu7 red

Re: Suzuki's SV Top Case
 

Hmmm, after looking at the genuine Suzuki one fitted I actually think mine looks neater.
Also, the box is further forward so doesn't come anywhere near contacting the plastics.
I will try and add a piccy soon.

Here's some piccies of a Givi E450N with the base plate bolted to a spare rear seat.

As you can see, everything seems to fit nicely and doesnt look too bad either. The big plus is that it takes seconds to take everything off and put the cowl or a rear seat back on.

Re: Suzuki's SV Top Case
 

At first when you said you diy'd it I thought ohdear. But that looks top notch, now I've seen that compared to the suzuki one I prefer yours. 10/10 for that FG1.

Here's a side on view so you can see how much room the box takes up, not a lot eh !!

Re: Suzuki's SV Top Case
 

Seems pretty joey to me. There's not a lot holding that down. Just a stick of plastic and the two metal lock studs. The pillion seat is designed to be sat on. Not forced backwards and side to side by the topbox moving about in the wind and cornering

Re: Suzuki's SV Top Case
 

I would imagine that the wind factor would be pretty negligable as it's directly behind me but you could possibly have a point with the weight moving around. I reckon that as long as I give a bit of thought to how I pack the box then I should be ok with the weight issue. As there wouldn't be much leverage on the box I reckon it will be fine.
I will let you know if I have issues after it is loaded up.

Re: Suzuki's SV Top Case
 

As long as it's locked down solid I don't see a problem. No matter what top box you fit and how you mount the adaptor plate, all it relies on is 'Just a stick of plastic and the two metal lock studs'

Re: Suzuki's SV Top Case
 

That's easily the neatest solution I've ever seen, well done. It makes the genuine Suzuki one look positively amateurish and lego-like.

Re: Suzuki's SV Top Case
 

The suzuki one has four bolts that secure the mounting plate directly to the subframe
