Aftermarket rear trunk tour on Bagger.

Thank you sir! Now I just have to figure out which direction to take. Kind of leaning toward the Givi Maxia 5. Trying to get as much as I can from the states. Just got burned on the engine guard from Hornig (no fault of theirs). After paying for shipping...I was charged an ADDITIONAL 50 PERCENT from DHL because of it being made of steel. Wasn't ready for that. Didn't find out until the day before it was to arrive.

So the guard with shipping was like $330 USD...had to pay another $187 for duty, tariff, whatever.

I was able to pick up everything for the maxia 5 here in the states. The lights, case, and adapter. The top case carrier i ordered overseas and paid half the price in tariffs totaling 280ish.

Why not just mount the original BMW top case rack? If you’re lucky, you’ll find enough mounting points for the Givi rack. If not, you can attach an alloy plate to it and then mount the Givi plate. That’s what I did for the Shad 59X top box, and it’s absolutely secure.

I ordered the Roadstyler handle, backrest, and luggage rack. But for a fully loaded holiday trip with the 59-liter top box, I trust the original top case rack more. Of course, you can’t remove it as easily as the Roadstyler rack and replace it with the smaller handle or backrest, but it’s 100% secure. The weight is better balanced and sits a bit lower than with the Roadstyler rack.

Since I only use the top box for vacations, I swap the Roadstyler passenger backrest and luggage rack for the BMW top case rack. I get that some people might question the effort, but it’s just four screws (five, if i include the one for the seat) and three zip ties—and it’s a great chance to clean the rear wheel and fender.

If I were looking for a permanent top box setup, I’d definitely go with the original rack.

Just my two cents.
Best regards

I’m going to replicate your great work.

I just ordered the BMW top case carrier. In advance of it arriving, I don’t suppose you have the measurements of the plate you used to mount the monokey plate on?

thanks in advance?
