Putting a GIVI trunk on F6B

[terryboyle]

I love the looks of the F6B but want to be able to put a 55 litre GIVI trunk on the back for extra storage and a backrest for my girlfriend when she comes along.

Is there a way to install a monokey adapter on the OEM rack or will I need to get an aftermarket rack like the one available from Twisted Throttle (Twisted Throttle Steel Rack Toprack For Honda F6B '13-'16) to do this?

Many thanks.

I have a 45 litre monolock givi case mounted on oem rack on my 2013 f6b using the universal mount . They also have a universal mount for a monkey case.

I used the twisted throttle, as it sits the case closer to the bike. The universal givi mount on the standard rack lifts it around 1-1/2".. I use the 47L unit. SWMBO loves the backrest.... (I know but I didn't want a FULL blown Goldwing)

Did you drill the top cover lid pieces or buy the pre-drilled ones from a Honda dealer?
Looks great, really appreciate the comment that it sits the the case closer to the bike, does it affect the position of the trunk for how close it is to the passenger?

Many thanks

Yes, had to drill the top cover lid pieces. A template is furnished with the rack to do this and is fairly accurate. Take you time and get it just right, you won't be sorry. When the case is mounted, it's perfect to use as a passenger backrest. A backrest pad is available with the trunk but I didn't get it since I only ride solo.

The Twisted Throttle set-up is excellent. I put on a 56 liter case. Did have to remove the antenna with a case this large. Relocated it under the seat with a zip tie.

Could I trouble you to post a couple of photos of the rack and the rack with the trunk installed?

I went with the Twisted Throttle rear rack with Monokey adapters and a GIVI 46L E460 top case. The 46L case has "very slight" interference with the radio antenna but being flexible it works out fine. A 55L case may present a problem with the antenna. The Twisted Throttle rack is great and designed so you can easily use bungees if not using the case. I'd buy the setup again in a heartbeat. Very reasonably priced also. One thing to note, you must use the mounting hardware that comes with the rack, the stock Honda hardware will not fit. Also, the seat can still be removed / installed with no problems or interference with the rack.
