Firstly I apologise if this has been addressed before.

I've
removed my Givi Monolock box from my Burgman and want to fit it to the
Wing when I get it. Is it just a matter of drilling the existing
carrier to accomodate the Givi plate? I asked my dealer when I bought
the bike but they say 250 GBP (370 USD) but I think that is for a Honda
Box and plate. Your help is appreciated.

Thanks, Bob

On the underside of the dinner table, err the handgrip spoiler thingy, there are 4 drill hole locations which seem to be designed for the Honda top box. Ive drilled these out and used vulcanised rubber mounts (6mm) to which I fitted the pad for my top box. The rubber mounts "give" under the top box making a more pleasant ride for the pillion.

The Givi info indicates that the rack attachment hardware are completely different between the Burgy and the Swing.

have a look at http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productlist/137/45/45
middle of page for the Honda
and http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productlist/137/90/45

Thanks chaps. That answers my question. (A) There are preformed pattern holes and (B) the plate that I have will fit as it's a waffle design. The first link shows a Monokey installation and I have te requisite plate for my Monolock.

I'm a happy camper now and won't have to fork out large sums of money.

Grateful thanks, Bob
