Lumor_uk Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Both boxes have same description, same photos. Worth the risk for £8 saving? Says universal base plate and thats what it shows in the pictures.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CBF125- ... 4abf392906http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-To ... 4abf39311c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin the Bear Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Items on e bay will be as described but unless the photo is of the actual thing it may be a generic photo and be nothing like the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumor_uk Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 taken a dive will let you know how it goes. If it doesn't fit I'll go OI! it says universal in the description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrbarry Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 As I always point out, 'universal doesn't fit' would be a better description most of the time. I don't mind modding stuff but to expect it to fit easily is normaly very unrealistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin the Bear Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Caviat. Universal fit. May need the use of a hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I found when looking for a top box, they were all the same but with different labels on them. The rack can be a fiddle as the bolts could do with being a bit longer. This is how I fitted mine to my YBR.http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5253/5537382511_47e376ed7b_z.jpgI also got it fitted to my KLE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumor_uk Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Great news, the cheaper one fits perfectly. The cross hatch base plate actually lines up perfectly square with the holes for the Honda top box. I didn't use the clamps, just a washer and bolt on the other side.http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NjEzWDEwMjQ=/$T2eC16hHJGQE9noMcS5eBQ5w!Bj)lg~~48_79.JPGTrouble is the manual for it says 3kg max load. 3 bags of sugar?? it was advertised as 7kg max load.

Throttled Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I have had a crate of beer in mine! I have a couple of bungees which hook into the little gaps round the edge where the lid opens, looping under the rack. Close the lid and no one can remove the bungee as the end is tucked under the lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumor_uk Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 well the budget givi boxes state 3kg so not fussed now. Still if I put 7kg in and it breaks I'll be asking for a refund from the seller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumor_uk Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 It's the same one I got I really like it, its the same as the Honda top box just with a blank badge on mine. paid £29 for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttled Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Its arrived and been fitted. The locking system is clever, hopefully it will loosen up with use. Very well made with thicker plastic than the universal boxes (sold by loads of makers who just replace the logo on the top) like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
