Top box for FZ 800

[katchin]

Hi,

I'm thinking of shooting off to Scotland next week, and need luggage. Which mounting do I need for a 2012 FZ 8 Fazer for a top box? and more importantly, are they easy for a novice tool user to fit?

Also is it an easy thing to fit some sort of power input, like a cigarette lighter? I would like to use a charger for my sat nav.

All I know is I got mine fitted as it involved removing the seat unit.

Top box rack is easy to fix to the bike it will come with instructions 5 minute job. Mine (fzs1000) remove the grab rails and bolt the rack in place of the grab rails.

Cig chargers are easy as well just make sure you you get the neg and pos lead correct or you will blow the cig charger.

and which one do I need? (Top box rack). Is it the universal rack or the extended arm bracket?

You will need the correct rack for your bike.

MonoKEY are the more sturdy boxes for bikes doing speed - more carring capacity

MonoLOCK are weaker boxes more for scooters - less carring capacity

Have a good read of the Givi website then read it again to make sure you gat what you need for your type of riding.

Personally I'd reccomend a 46 litre topbox

Scotland is ace you will love it up there

It does look like you have picked an awkward bike to fit a rack to. But it is possible to do it.

Get yourself an sw motech rack for your bike then get a monokey adaptor plate with it then get any givi monokey top box, will cost you a few quid so best looking for second hand on ebay

As I said not as easy as yours
