    Alternative Top Box

    Blatant plug for a good product coming up!

    If Like me you 're looking to get a quality Top Box for your TS but:
    A) don't want to pay Triumphs price for the recommended box
    B) are looking for something a little smaller

    Then I can highly recommend this Box :  Givi B37NT Blade.

    As the name implies it's 37 Litres as compared to Triumphs suggested MPN A9500894 box which is 49 Litres.
    It's a Givi MonoLock system as opposed to their more popular MonoKey system (The box comes complete with all of the required brackets, hardware and a universal quick release mounting plate that fits the Triumph Tiger Sport rack perfectly)
    It comes with a reasonable lock and 2 keys and like most boxes once snapped on to the mounting plate and locked you need the key to get it off the bike.
    It will hold a single Full face lid plus a summer jacket or other items.
    It's 440mm tall 495mm wide so shouldn't make squeezing in tight spaces any more difficult than on the bike without the box fitted. 
    The finish on this box is really nice with a carbon fibre effect on the lid (not shown in the stock photo attached!) and it also has a waterproof seal.  The Silver Givi trim and smoked reflectors are a lovely touch and it's also available with Red reflectors if you prefer that scheme.
    For a single night away or even a weekend it's more than big enough and at just over £100 it's an affordable and good quality solution.

    If you're in the UK then Sportsbikeshop will deliver it for FREE! and if you don't like it when you get it you can send it back also for FREE!  So it's definitely worth a look (Other retailers ARE available!)

    Oh and if you REALLY need the larger capacity offered by the Triumph box then it's also available in a 47Litre capacity (Givi B47NTML) for £25 more.

    HI,
    I would like to buy a Givi 37 litre top box. The Triumph one is too big for my needs. The Givi rack is seriously ugly.  It looks like a mechano set.
    Am I right in saying the universal adaptor plate comes supplied with the top box along with the fill in or do you have to buy a further adaptor plate M5M or M6M?
    Does the adaptor plate attach securely to the Tiger 660 rack?  I read someone saying it did not.  Can you just screw the four brackets supplied onto the Triumph rack?
    Thanks for any help.

    I'm looking at mounting an old pelican case I've had lying around for my daily driver stuff

    Both GIVI universal monokey E251 and monolock Z113C2  topbox plates can be fitted to the OEM topbox rack. No mods required.

    As above the givi adapters work 100% fine with Triumph OEM rack and the 37L case is a better size for the bike
