Top box on a ZX-10R

[Alex Kay]

Is it possible to fit in a top box to the 10? The Givi website doesn't list any mounts for Ninjas, are there any other options?

A top box is an absolute must for me, I will probably sell my soul to a Viffer if ZX10 cannot have one...

Thanks a bunch!

Why would you want to buy an out and out sportsbike and then expect sports-tourer accessories ?? That's nearly as bad as putting a rack on a nine

Buy an Rjays topbox for around $150 or less- 45 Litres or so, and it comes with a baseplate to which you will have to fab a mount to the bike. Did this to my ZZR and it's great. It is a Givi copy without the pricetag. You also have the option of a high level brakelight fitted to the back of the box. Connected it all up with LEDs on mine too. Good for the price.

Umm, so the ZX-10r is going to be a commuter? Cool!

I suppose that's a bit like putting a towbar on a Ferrari, but you're right Givi doesn't list one for the 10, although it will supply one for a 12 and a 14. I suppose the RJAYs route might be best, although a Ventura soft case might work as well.

I have a Givi on my ZZR, brillant kit .

I have an RJays on my ZZR250, the baseplate is soft as shite, I have to tighten the bolts each fortnight or so. I had a friends SV650 for a couple of weeks, it was fitted with a Givi top box and mount. Rock solid. Now I know why RJays are so cheap

Anyway, there's still a question of fabbing a mount...

Cuz I'm in love

I'm not going to have the top box on all the time, but I don't have a car and still need to do shopping et cetera...

id suggest using washers to make sure it holds without chewing through.

welcome back alex, glad to hear your going to get a 10, stay away from those Viffers mate

why dont you get a ventura rack and bag, although its hard to believe you cant get a Givi topbox ?

I cant see any dramas with luggage on a 10, just cause you like to go a long way away, at a very fast pace doesn't make it wierd, does it ?

im sure if u supply beer thered be sum1 on ksrc who could help u fab up sum kinda rig if required??

i hear hoffy is excpetionally gifted with a milk crate!!

[Barrabob]

I have a zx6r with a god awful ugly nylex 45 litre crate cable tied to a ventura rack on the back of it and it holds a fair few groceries and other odds and ends.

I am a courier so you need a crate but on the weekend i just remove it and head up the hills.

Its actually way handier then a bag and very weather proof just not very aerodynamic and about 40 bucks at bunnings.

Hey Mick!

Well, soft bags have their uses but I would feel nervous leaving them on the bike for more than a couple of minutes.

Hehe, and thanks for your support! Frankly I feel a bit scary upgrading to the mighty 10 from my tiny little ZZR (although I had no probs riding the friend's SV650).
