i am trying to figure out what toprack will work with a Givi V42 top box and the stock BMW side racks/cases. i spoke to twisted throttle and they say the SW-Motech toprack will not work with the stock BMW sideracks/cases. they say i need to replace the sideracks and replace the stock BMW sidecases in order to get a Givi topbox installed on my bike. can anyone tell me the easiest way to add a Givi topbox to my '07 R1200R.

i think i got this figured out, and all for the low price of $55.00

Care to share what you figured out? Perhaps with pictures?

i believe i can use this adaptor plate with the approprate hardware, Givi/Kappa monkey.

Did that adapter work? I have a Givi from my K-bike I'd like to reuse on my 2013 R12R.

I looked at fitting a Givi plate to my 12R but decided to stick with the 28L BMW topbox she came with. I did buy a second hand 49L BMW box but it looked way too big. The Givi looked smaller but didn't look as good. I've now bought a 30L Givi waterproof holdall to strap to the top of the box for the odd occasion I need the extra space.

I have also used the Coocase adapter plate shown in the above link for my R1200R and I am now using my Givi top case when I ride with my wife as she takes tons of stuff. However, beware that the adapter plate will only work attached to the BMW original rear luggage rack. Not all models come with the BMW rear luggage rack. If not, you will need to install it (and it comes in a single unit together with the side racks, not separately). Hope this helps.

The Givi E193 fits perfectly. It's listed for the R1200RT and K1200 GT, but also fits my 2012 R1200R. I'd post pics but not sure how. Link to Twisted Throttle: Givi E193 Topcase Rack to fit Givi Monokey Topcases for BMW R1200RT '05-'13 - TwistedThrottle.com.
