Wow, this really looks good !

Where did you buy those gems Johan ?

Wow, that is a seriously big topbox, nice going! would love to see a shot of the panniers frames when the box isn't on, if you get a chance.

That looks really good Johan! What did that all set you back? I need to get some for my NC. A Top Box also makes the pillion feel a lot safer.

Hi Johan
Looking good.
Where did you get the brackets from?

[EcoRider]

I bought my Givi EN 370 Monolock top box + "1111FZ" Givi carrier brackets 2nd hand, but unfortunately I do not know where the previous owner bought the brackets.

The 1111FZ brackets are just two arms, and is needed to mount any Givi top box to the NC700 / 750's. You need an additional base between the two brackets and your top box, to mount your top box. There are two different types of top boxes - Mono Key, and Mono Rack boxes. You just need to find out which base will suit your top box, and mount the particular base to the Givi 1111FZ arms. Or should you be in possession of a Givi base for your top box already, it should be quite easy to mount the base to the 1111FZ brackets.

The Givi 1111FZ brackets are easy to mount to the bike, and really looks good.

Thanks for the info - can get them off ebay for around R650 plus R500 for shipping.
Cheaper than the unit sold by Bikegear @ R1850 excl shipment.

Henkt, if you order the 1111FZ arms from eBay, you just need to make very sure that it comes with brackets which look like this:



This is VERY IMPORTANT - the 1111FZ MUST come with those brackets, otherwise you will NOT be able to mount the arms to your bike !

I think you might have to order the correct brackets at an additional cost:

The brackets and support arms get mounted like this :

Hmm - see what you mean.
Will look out for it.
Thanks

So I ordered the 1111FZ kit from Givi SA, which is basically Southafricanbike.co.za.
Came with the brackets - just under R1100.
Would have been slightly more via ebay with a long waiting period.
Also ordered M5M monolock Base plate. I just didn't feel like making an adapter plate to use the Base that came with my topbox.
Took less than an hour to fit so now I'm really ready to commute with gym bag an all
