Mounting Givi top box luggage on passenger seat

Very clever solution! Nice. Makes me wish I had a separate pillion seat on my xj6s. Racks + mounting plates cost a fortune!

Nice video, what size is that top box ?Is it a givi e370 ? Thanks

clever!

did you get a chance to ride around with the top box mounted like that yet? i've been thinking about mounting a givi case in a similar fashion, but i'm not sure if it'll hold up.

@letsemailmark Yes, I've ridden with it a few times and it holds up very well. I think I had up to 40 pounds in there.

I am surprised that you had not considered the Ventura rack system. I have it on my 2007 ZX6R and the ease of use is outstanding. I would reccomend it to anyone if they are interested in zx6r luggae solutions. I also have a rack for sale (I was sent a second by mistake and was allowed to retain it) if anyone is interested.

@ennistymonjoe I had the Ventura rack and I did not like it at all. It didn't work well with my aftermarket exhaust cuz it interfered with the mid pipe. and the 2 mounting rods look out of place on the bike.

Dude i had the same idea, tho i was going to mount a luggage rack to a spare seat. I was worried that it wouldnt work very well so i never did it. Looks like i might have to go ahead and do it! I am still concerned with stress fatigue on the plastic, how long have you had the luggage mounted to that seat?

@thebestnodought I haven't used it quite yet, but once I get a few rides out of it, I'll make another video.

Very Interesting. You have to let me know when you get back out on the street how it feels? It kinda looks like it would act like a sail since the bike is aerodynamic shaped to cut through the wind and it looks huge on your bike.
