Tuning and modding » Top Box

Hi. I transferred my Givi top box from my K1200RS to my R1200RS but unfortunately it sits a bit far forward which drastically cuts down the pillion space. Could anyone recommend a top box that would give more pillion space ?
thanks

Just move the base plate back a bit. That is the reason that the base plate has so many holes, so that it can be moved about.

Hi, unfortunately the adapter plate is not the universal one and screws directly to the BMW plate.givi.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Then change that plate for one of the universal ones, seems that it would be a cheaper and quicker option.

If you are lucky you might locate a Bacaruda (?spelling?) plate which sets the box back a bit. I am too new to RS ownership to have the full story but, as I understand it an RS owner did a limited production run of plates.

Unfortunately I had just got the Givi plate when I first came across this and saw one for sale.

As to which top box is least worst with the Givi plate I would be interested to know. I took the backrest of my E460 Givi box to make more space and will likely run with a bag on the plate rather than a top box on the few occasions when I ride with a pillion

Bought my first bike with a plastic top box back in 1976 and had many since. Never had one depart the bike yet, but I guess we all have our fears.
