Givi case instead of pillion seat on 2011 r1200gsa.

Hi All.

I've seen a thread about moving the top box on the r1200gsa forward over the pillion, I was wondering if I could keep the metal box where it is and fit something like this allowing me to have a Givi box instead of the pillion seat.

Thanks All.

I think you'd struggle to get a decent sized Givi box in the pillion area in addition to the standard topbox on the back but start off by taking a few measurements - no point in looking for mounting solutions if there isn't space for the box itself. See if you can find/borrow a Givi box and just place it on the pillion seat - then see if you can sit on the bike!

It would also be a right bugger to try to open the Givi with the opening mechanism jammed up against the back of the metal box. Move it further forward to give clearance and it would encroach on the rider space. I've got my Vario case mounted on the pillion area and I had to remove the backrest from it to give myself more room, otherwise I couldn't sit up straight when I stopped. There's not all that much space.

You could fit a large Givi box end ways.

The bike would look like mobile luggage with this as nature intended but it could be fitted sideways part on the pillion and part on the carrier.
You'd need a special mount.
