Suzuki top box question - SV650.org

Has anyone got the suzuki topbox mount that goes in place of the pillion seat? If so can you tell me how far back the mounting points are from the back or the front seat?

I'm planning to make one out of a pillion seat and a givi base plate but need to know how far back to mount it and have assumed that Suzuki probably have it about right.

Oh and if possible a pic of the whole thing in case I've forgotten anything.

Ta,
Mark

I dont think you need to worry too much, just so long as the bolts dont interfere with the seat locking.

It's more a case of how far back so it doesn't get in the way of your riding position but does not hang too far back putting extra load on the fixing points.

I want to drill as few holes as possible so want to get it right first time.
