Largest Trunk
What's the largest Givi trunk you can put on the PCX 150?
Re: Largest Trunk
Size isn't a problem, but weight is.
There's no point fitting a big one because of the weight restriction.

Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

Re: Largest Trunk
GN2's right, you'll hit the PCX's weight limit really quick with the larger topboxes, though that hasn't discouraged people from going big anyways.
Givi makes two lines -- Monokey and Monolock. Monolocks are rated for pathetically small weights (under 10kg, some as low as 3kg). The Monokeys are more well-built, larger, and support more weight, but require some modifying to fit on the standard baseplate. The standard baseplate is not designed to hold that much weight though, so you're running a risk if you load it up with books or something heavy. That said though, Hispanicslammer mounted a fairly large Honda topbox on his: http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26#p6456. I'm fairly sure that's around a 40L box.

Re: Largest Trunk
I just replied to your other thread too -- look at how flimsy the brackets are for the stock topbox: http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t ... 637#p14541
That's why the weight limit is so small...
