What's the largest Givi trunk you can put on the PCX 150?

Size isn't a problem, but weight is.
There's no point fitting a big one because of the weight restriction.

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.

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...
