Can you tell me more about your top box and carrier you purchased? I want to add a top box but have the rear seat back and read that the givi box wont fit if you have the rear seat on.? I see differently in your pictures and it looks great.

Which rack / carrier did you have to purchase and size of the givi box? I have the blue F6B, may have to buy a black box for now.?
