Title: Top case recommendation for this rack?
Post by: Groover on June 07, 2021, 01:00:40 PM: Looking for a decent, not too big top case that will mount to this rack. Learned a little about the GIVI Monolock and Monokey options, and seems more complicated than I was expecting. Maybe I need a Monolock, not sure, but I'd also like this potential case to have maybe a pad for the passenger, not to necessarily lounge back in but just a little something. Also, doesn't need to be giant, just maybe medium sized, but also strong. Open to different brands, and even potentially duffle-bag style and forgo the backrest idea.

What do you guys think may work on this rack type? This is to go on my G5. Thanks in Advance.

By the way, does anyone know who made this rack? The guy I bought it from in Italy said if was Moto Guzzi. I like how it appears to be a clean installation. I haven't put it on yet.

Looks like this mounted. I saved this photo as Gino from WG a few years ago, so a member here:

Motostorm evidently has the Kappa equivalent (but doesn't have the cargo net): https://www.motostorm.it/en/accessories/luggage/kappa-k43nmal-cube-monolock-top-case-black.html

(I bought a set of Kappa sidecases from Motostorm and was pleased with their service)

It comes with keys, and all the original mounts for a loopframe. Check out the vintage sticker , the cool running/brake lights,and the backrest pad on it! :thumb: :thumb:

Thank you for the additional suggestions, I will eventually pick something!

I hear ya, Groover! I have come so close to mounting that trunk on a couple of my Guzzis painting it to match, but I just could not do it. Its a bit too much for me as well, I guess I am not really a "trunk person" . :laugh:

Post by: greer on June 09, 2021, 04:51:00 AM: Top cases aren't for me either. Doug has had the Givi knock off like Charlie's for years and loves it, stuck it on the V85 first thing. I have used a tail pack though, and can vouch for them without reservation. You'll find a slew of them on Ebay and Amazon, bet you'll see something that looks like it was made for the bike.
