Givi E22N side case from Motostotrom with Honda top box

Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Samurai...I have those same cases that I'm keeping from my V-strom. I just ordered the Givi P1111 saddle bag brackets for the NC, which I'm assuming is all I need to mount the Monokey E22's. I'm wondering about the top case with these brackets. I believe the brackets will only hold the saddle bags but my question is - do these brackets go all the way back to form a plate that I can mount a top case plate on or are there additional brackets to buy?

With the PL1111 you will need EITHER the 1111FZ or the 1111KIT. The 111KIT is just a couple of the mounting plates that are included with the 1111FZ... so you don't need both.

The 1111FZ is the rear rack kit (arms). This requires some plate as well depending on what top case or top bag option you want. I have and like the Givi E251 plate as it is flat so a soft bag or whatever can be strapped to it or take a monokey top case. There is also the Givi EX1SRA rack which is just a big flat area for strapping stuff/soft bags to. Or, you can leave Givi and put many other manufacturer plates on it.

The Givi PL1111 side case brackets need an additional item in order to be mounted. Use the Givi 1111KIT if you just want to mount the side brackets alone. Otherwise use the Givi 1111FZ side arms to mount your bag brackets, and you will be able to mount a top case using an appropriate adapter plate.

Again, the PL1111 side brackets alone do not include a way to mount them to the motorcycle.

Thanks! Appreciate the heads up. For some reason I just "knew" there was something else to get! The Givi site didn't really explain the additional "Kit" thing.

I feel your pain. Wish the manufacturer would have more detail referencing combinations needed for your specific need / want.

I was also pretty confused by the myriad parts and combinations. I ended up email [email protected] to get confirmation about what I was buying, and whether the set of mounting kits were the right ones or not. They were super helpful being very patient while I waffled on whether I wanted a top case or just saddlebags. In the end I knew exactly what I needed to order and when I did it was exactly the right stuff. If you're thinking of ordering Givi and are unclear on what mounting stuff you need I'd recommend dropping them a line.

What kind of seat is that

What rack is this?

Does no one use this rack? Of all the racks available for the NC I found this to be the sleekest. When a friend bought his NC I had him order this up.

What rack is this?

I think it is the mmoto rack.. These guys are in the Ukraine but a few folks have got them. Communication and distance apparently take instant gratification out of the picture but I think they look great.

The top box is a Kappa 46L that i would quickly trade for a larger one haha. The side cases i have not found a size on them but they are pretty small as well. I am ok with them for now, but most certainly will try and trade or sell them for a larger set sooner or later. :{)

Mine looks a lot like yours Rapturee;



It's the Honda saddle bags and rack with a MMG top box.

Took off Givi E41 side cases and mounted Tusk medium size cases. Although funtioncal for it's size I just wasn't a fan of how the E41's look and the width of the E41's made it unnerving when splitting lanes. Medium Tusk are 7 1/4 wide while the Givi's are about 14 inches wide.

Wild Heart dry saddlebags I got for $99 shipped, very stoutly made with semi-solid rubberized wheel well panels and heavy polyester strapping going all the way around. With two or three rolls of the rolltops they provide a healthy 50-liter addition to hauling capacity, and can be cinched at the bottom as well as the top for smaller loads, can even be flattened out when not carrying anything.

I adapted the mounting from the rather standard over-the-seat approach, to each bag clipping on separately with ultra-duty polyester straps with strong metal cams. This allows me to quickly mount them to either my Honda NC700X or my Yamaha WR250R, both of which have top cases that make the standard mounting method a PITA. The new mounting system also makes it easy to include my Rotopax and its mount.

There's a M8 bolt hole available down near the passenger footpeg mount were so I bought a 1.5 inch aluminum strip and bowed it outward to line things out with the muffler, then ran it back to a small u-bolt attached to my Hepco Becker AluRack. It follows the line of the frame and the muffler/footpegs support and doesn't flex or vibrate so I don't mind leaving it on when I'm not carrying saddlebags.

For extra insurance, the very affordable Mosko Moto heat shield was installed. The saddlebags are stable and tight without unnecessary expense and weight.

I didn't see any of the Kappa K33n's posted in the thread so I thought I would post these. They are the baby brother to the V35 Givi's. I paired them with the V47 Givi topcase.

 

[mumbauer]

greenboy, Can you show your mount a little clearer...it sounds like you don't have anything going over the rear seat like regular saddlebags would. I'd be curious if I can adapt what you did to my bags. Thanks,

New GIVI top box to go with the Tusk sides...

Added some GIVI soft bags today...the 709 gravel T, also known as the Canyons.

I had the Trekker boxes and racks since I purchased the NC. I want to do some off pavement work and felt I needed some soft bags to prevent breaking an ankle.
I liked the quick release of the happy trails, but didn't want to replace the GIVI Racks. I stumbled across the Gravels, I thought the mounting plate was a little too much, but the bags seemed tough and gave me the quick release capability. It will be easy for me to switch to other bikes if I stay with GIVI racks. The local dealer gave me a discount that brought them close to the prices of Wolfman Rocky Mountains, which were the other bags I was considering.
With the rocky mountains, I would have to order a liner, water bottle holder, etc, that come with the GIVI's. The molle system allows me to expand if I so desire. I also like the bright colored liner. The bags are 35 liters each, more than the hard cases. I moved one of the hard cases to a tail spot. That's what I usually do around town.
