Just bought a 2024 Honda CT125 or Trail 125, and wanted to share information on the Givi Monokey Mount Spacing. There is no diagram or illustration for the spacing of it anywhere, so I provided a drawing of what I measured.
I wanted to mount a Givi Top Case to the rack, but didn't want to drill additional holes, or use one of their thick interim mounting brackets. I used some Givi mount fittings, a 12" x 12" x 1/4" aluminum plate and a thin self-adhesive rubber sheet the same size, all from Amazon ($40, $23, and $11).
I measured the mount on my CB1100, and drew this layout. I drilled the two pin holes to 3/8" to allow fine tuneing, but the 2 holes for the locking catch were 1/4", and the screws for it were countersunk. The four 1/4"holes that I drilled to mount the plate were countersunk, and had large fender washers on the underside. The rubber sheet went on the underside of the plate, and protects the rack's painted surface.
The location of the plate holes allowed the box to be mounted sideways as normal, but I wanted to mount the box longtitudinally.
