recommended Top Cases

[Love Enigma]

Hello ladies and gents,
I am currently in the market for a top case for my fz6r. Hopefully one that replace my rear seat, but not required. I would like one that would fit my helmet and that is relatively cheap (student tired of carrying her jacket and helmet).

I've read a few posts on the matter, but most I've found are older posts with dead links. Ideas?

Thanks! I appreciate your feedback. =]

Well back when I had my 6R, I started rocking a top box early on for those very same reasons.

I bought a rear rack and top case from TwistedThrottle, because they were the cheapest on the market in 2010 when I bought mine.

I do believe they still sell the rack here

Unfortunately the box I purchased, the V36 which fit my XL sized helmet, is too expensive now that it comes with all the electronic goodies. They do offer a student price alternative here, but I'm not sure if it will fit a helmet. That's something you would want to call and ask about.

I have the Givi e300. Bought it here Givi Monolock E300 Tour Top Case - Motorcycle Superstore
It fits my helmet size medium or large, I cant seem to find the label that has the size.
3 issues I have with the case:
1. You need the key to lock the case. It acts like a dead bolt, you need to key to lock and unlock it. I wish it was similar to a keyed padlock where you can unlock the padlock with a turn of the key and it is no longer needed to lock the padlock, you just push it locked.
2. You have to center the latch in order to close the case. If you don't center the latch, the latch blocks the top half from closing.
3. There is no seal between the two halves. Since I ride in any weather I think this is an important thing to have. I have ridden twice in lighter rain and the insides of the case were dry. We will see if it is needed when I encounter something like this again,

Got one of the top cases off Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-LARGE-BLACK-MOTORCYCLE-SCOOTER-TOURING-TRUNK-TOP-CASE-BRACKET-TO-FIT-2-HELMETS-/380629937878?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item589f4feed6&vxp=mtr that fits 2 helmets no problem fitting helmet, made a partition with plexiglass so able to carry things in other side.
Made rack myself from pipe and bar stock.
Had it for a couple years, still doing fine, no seal between halves but have ridden in several downpours and no water got into the case.

Can you guys post the part numbers of everything needed to mount your cases. It seems no one likes to tell you what all you need for brackets, mounts, and which case fits what. Or, what pieces of the puzzle come with each component. Does the mount for the case come with the brackets specific to the bike, or with the case, or as a separate item, etc?

On the GIVI equipment there are two types of "interface" plates.....

MonoKEY and monoLOCK....the case you buy determins what "plate" you need.


when you order the mounting kit (sporttour) would ask if you wanted the monolock or monokey mounting plate... the mounting plate comes with the mounting kit.


fz364 top case mount - does not work with fender eliminator - unless you customize.

plxr364 for the v35 side cases....

Ebay case comes with mounting plate, I made a rack so no part number.

My case came with a mount but I made my own rack. I did not feel like shelling out the cash for pre-made rack. SW-MOTECH Alu-Rack Toprack for Yamaha XJ6 '08-'13 to fit TraX ALU-BOX, Pelican, Shad, Givi / Kappa, Coocase & Soft Luggage - TwistedThrottle.com

Hello ladies and gents,...

I'm afraid to say I initially read your name as "Love Enema."

I thought you were into some kinky stuff.
:facepalm:
