just a question about the Top case adaptor official suzuki one. does this just click into place like the seat cowl/ rear seat??

if so how solid is it?

thanks in advance

As solid as the seat does - uses the same fixing points.

It then has to carry LESS than the seat - most pillions weigh more than the 20kg mentioned before in the thread

It secures into the same locking mechanism as the pillion seat, then screws on tightly, using 4 screws.

If you are considering it Robinsons Foundry sell the adaptor for £30, less than most Suzuki dealers. Iv'e got the topbox too and am impressed with the quality.

It has 4 bolts holding it down. 2 in the grab rail mounts and 2 in the tail fairing mounts at the front. It's solid

If you can get it screwed down-one of the ones nearest the tail on my bike won't thread properly, just spent a good half hour think I need a new screw!

thanks for the quick replies,

how easy is it to take on and off. reason i ask is that i probably wouldnt use it all that often so would put the seat cowl back on when not in use.

do u need to buy a base plate for the tob box then or will it snap straight onto the adaptor?

I have just got hold of a Givi E450N and bolted the mounting plate to a spare rear seat. At the moment everything looks secure enough but I haven't had chance to roadtest it yet. It seems a cheaper alternative to the Suzuki mounting plate but possibly not as secure as it relies on the seat fixings to hold it secure. Mind you, if it can take an adult then surely a top box full of kit should be OK.

To take it off you need to remove the four bolts so remember to take out your tool kit and put it in the top box in case of emergency's
You just need the top box and adaptor

great stuff. thanks guys

A couple of pics of mine fitted.
