;Mounting plates
: [http://www.giviusa.com/givi-products/mounting-hardware/top-case-mounting/e251-adapter-plate-universal-detail The Givi E251 Monokey universal mounting plate] adapts most large Givi cases to the OEM top rack.
: [http://www.giviusa.com/givi-products/mounting-hardware/top-case-mounting/z113c-monolock-universal-fit-kit-detail Monolock universal mounting plate] adapts smaller, more scooter-oriented Givi cases to the OEM top rack.
: [http://www.giviusa.com/givi-products/mounting-hardware/top-case-mounting All Givi top plate options], most not confirmed to fit.
: [http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=3151.msg16507#msg16507 early forum thread about some options]
: Other manufacturers' top plates should fit if they're meant for a Givi bolt pattern.
;Installation
: '''Difficulty:''' Trivial (15 minute job).
: See [[OEM Top Rack Install]]
;Design Issues
* The rack is only fastened via the two M5 bolts into the top of the frame under the seat.
*: '''Downside:''' The strain on those bolts can accumulate if the rack has any freedom of motion.
*: '''Upside:''' This connection makes the top rack a cheap sacrificial point if the bike goes down in a certain way, particularly with the police models' use of a rear rack bar.
*: '''Recommendation:''' When removing the seat bolts, remove any load from the top rack (and side racks) to avoid straining these bolts and possibly breaking them.
*: Don't add load to the racks without the seat bolts inserted.
* The top rack plate is smaller than a Givi Monokey or other larger vendor's case surface.
*: Crafting an aluminum plate to fix to the existing plate is workable with a drill and the right machined piece of (say) aluminum.
