Put the topcase on today.
Wasn't sure how i would feel about the looks of it but once installed its actually nice. Definetly when seen in person it gives the Forza a more substantial rear profile. Thanks to others for shareing their pictures. It was helpful in giving me an idea of how it would look. I also purchased the red trim cover but have not decided if i will use it or not. For others who might be wondering the red trim cover for the givi v47 top case cover is not an exact match to the Honda Red. Its actually cam am spyder red. Very close match but not exact.

Re: Put the topcase on today.
Has anyone tried a Givi 55 liter top case on a Forza? I would not be putting a lot of weight in it. I just want a secure place to put my $700 Olympia jacket and pants in while I go to the beach etc.

Re: Put the topcase on today.
Gnarg, that looks good on me Big Brother! I like the bit of carbon fiber on it as well. I'm not really a fan of top boxes, but on the Forza it "looks" balanced out. You get that? Hope so
Are you going to show us the "Can-Am" red Spyder lid too? Profile pics of Forza with both boxes on, (no, not at the same time silly), would be nice
to compare

Re: Put the topcase on today.
Is the topbox sturdy for the wife to lean back on for a backrest?

Hello Walrus,
Yes the GIVI case when mounted with backrest pad is very sturdy. Very suitable for passenger leaning back on it.

Re: Put the topcase on today.
You know Mike, I like the black top box better than the red (now that saw it). Thanks for pointing me there
Hope you don't mind me sharing your photo here of the red? Just so others can see a quicker comparison of the two colors on your saweet bike

And here are a couple of snaps of the thing out in the wild (working out attachment points for cargo).

Re: Put the topcase on today.
I put the GIVI rack on my Forza. The hole drilling was not done very well but everything is hidden any way. The 55 litre case looks OK but I am dyslexic and I don't care. I hope the Forza can handle the weight and not crack the frame. The case is almost always empty. It is just a place to put my stuff while I walk around the mall.
55 litre case looked huge in the store compared to the smaller cases. Looks OK on the big ass Forza. The seat on the the Forza looked huge but it fits my big ass.

Re: Put the topcase on today.
My scooter came with the same rack but no top box. Apart from the V47 givi case does anyone know what other cases including Givi are compatiable with the monokey rack? I purchased a 42 litre Givi off someone else thinking yeah that will fit nicely and went i got it home the plug was bigger than the hole in the Givi 42L. So im lost what to do sell the box and see what other boxes are compatiable? BTW It's new 42L give with all the bits im selling $160.
