Does not look to bad on the F6B, but if I wanted a trunk I would have just bought a Goldwing...I am sure that those who want a trunk that is somewhat portable on/off, so to speak, this would be a great choice....Just not my thing.....
I like it. I'm very intrigued how did you make the rack for it. Also, is it possible to mount the rack and trunk a bit lower to the bike, maybe with shorter bolts? To me it would look better to be closer to the body of bike.
94.5677457% of the time I don't want a trunk, but if I rode with a passenger it would be needed. I like the convertible aspect of it. I would also choose a different trunk that's more square to better match the bike.
All in all great job! This setup has a potential to be better than Goldwing's IMO due to being able to be removed and several trunk choices available to choose from currently. 2012 and up Goldwing trunk does not match the rest of the bike to me. Maybe somebody will come out with the trunk specially made for F6B.

I like it too. For travelling two up it would be great. Givi has a couple more angular cases available and their mounting plate could easily adapt to a F6B rack. Not sure if you can get it any lower than Phantom has pictured unless you tilt it down to match the sloping rear panel of the F6B. IMO best to keep the trunk level and low as possible.Quote:

They may have increased their inventory here in the states, not sure. They have a warehouse in North Carolina and one in Nevada. I just noticed that they are also into manufacturing helmets.
I agree. I have found a couple of pictures of trunks which could be a good match. Also, Shad trunk can be had with accessory rear light which could fill in the empty space btwn. case and bike, as shown in picture. Shad is Spanish made and they make OEM luggage for likes of BMW. I saw these in person at Daytona Bikeweek and they are well made, huge and less expensive than Givi.

Both come in black as does my F6B. Next, maybe I can look into ordering the luggage rack from Dale (Honda bikepro), he wrote previously he can make it any shape, so maybe get it in a shape of bottom mount for one of these cases. Just have it on when needed, should be a small black rack when not!
At first I thought I wanted a trunk myself. Not anymore. I've owned a lot of bikes with trunks, I thought to travel that's what you needed. I like my T bag (my first one) with wheels and extendable pull handle. Sure makes it easy getting from the bike to the room. Honda's trunk for the new 1300 might be an option for those wanting one. I had some GIVI's on a first model year Triumph Sprint. All 3 bags looked the same and held a bunch. Well made too. But I think they look funky.
What mounting brackets are used to mount a Givi trunk ?
Givi has their own proprietary mounting systems. The most well known of their systems is called the Monokey system, which uses the same mounting bracket for about 15 t0 20 different trunks/bags. They also have a newer system out now called the Monolock system.Quote:

You may want to check with one or more of our forum sponsors, and see if any of them supply Givi products.
Most, but not all, of the Givi trunks come with a mounting plate, but the mounting paltes are bike specific. That means...a mounting plate for a BMW R12GS will be a different mounting plate than one for a Suzuki DL 650, but......the same trunk could snap into either one of those munting plates, as the mounting plate acts as a receiver for any and all Givi trunks...within the same system.
Which system of the GIVI mounting plate did you use for the F6B application?
I would like to get the GIVI trunk that will hold two full face helmets on the longer trips out of town..
Hiflyer, what tbag do you haveQuote:

In this pic it's not strapped down. It has a piece that slides down over the backrest(only works with a backrest extension, will not work with stock position) and has straps that are attached to the bag and go under the rack and clip in the buckles you can see in the pic, very secure and so easy to attach, even a red F6b owner can do it!Quote:

GOOD INFORMATION
Did you monogram the F6B on there? That's a nice touch.Quote:

Does anyone have a mounting plate for this bag? I see the one in the photo and I am wondering who made it ?Quote:

Sorry to revive an old thread.
Papa Tater- What rack did you mount your case to?
I'm looking to mount a Givi case and not sure which rack to go with. Honda, MP3, Twisted Throttle, other?
Don't know how papa tater has his mounted but the twisted throttle one for Givi box
