Givi E55 Maxia Top Box Installed - AzBob_imp - 10-31-2013

Got my rear carrier, and installed it, along with a generic adapter for Givi and the Givi E55 Maxia3 top box. The color of the optional top plastic is just about spot-on as far as match goes. I believe this is one of the largest top boxes one can buy. It doesn't look weird to me at all, seems to fit right in, IMO. Rides the same (empty). Haven't ridden with anything in it, yet, that'll probably happen next week on the way to work when I plan on dropping my 15+lbs backback in there.

And on to the pictures (because I knew people would get PO'd if I didn't take any):

Hey Mister! There's a UFO following your motorcycle!

Yep, thats a serious trunk. Givi makes good stuff!

Wonder with the 15# backpack how it will change the center of gravity and handling with the UFO being so weighted down?

Looks good to me Bob. I say a top case makes a bike more functional.
In fact, I spent the afternoon out in my shed making a rear rack for my PCX150 scooter. Got a Givi 30 top case down in the basement on the extra parts rack that will carry my lunch to work and beer home on the scoot.

Wow so you can carry the beer in the top case and the bucket of chicken in the seat along with your lunch box!

Mine is mostly so that my pillion and I have a secure place to stash our helmets when we go somewhere. :-) The other is to stash my backpack while going to work so it's not weighing on my shoulders.

My GIVI Trekker 46 will NOT hold two full face helmets. I tried. But it will hold one full face and my wife's half helmet.

what is the windshield you installed in your bike, how does it perform?

RE: Givi E55 Maxia Top Box Installed - ingobohn_imp - 11-01-2013

How doe sthe rear carrier look like when the box is not mounted? Is there a black plastic plate for the top case on top of the chrome carrier (guess it is the origianl Honda carrier)?
