View source for Givi Monokey Adapter Plate Install

<onlyinclude>
To install any Givi box, get the universal Monokey (part E251) top case adapter.
: Zero's top rack is set up for Monolock cases, which are fine but simpler and often smaller.

; Tools
* M5 hex key wrench
* 10mm hex socket wrench
*: Both a deep and shallow socket are helpful for reaching under the rack near the tail and behind it.
* Philips Head (PH1) screwdriver for fastening the cover.
* Blue Loctite threadlocker to keep the fasteners tight in all weather.

* 1 adapter plate
* 1 thin cover for the adapter plate
* 4 5mm Allen head socket bolts.
* 4 10mm hex nylon locknuts.
* 4 square slotted washers.
* 4 universal clamp brackets.
*: The clamps are not needed for the Zero OEM top rack, just the square washers.
* 6 Philips head (PH1) screws for the cover
*: 2 of these are smaller and only fasten the center of the cover

; Steps
# Place the square washers as indicated to match the Zero top rack plate holes.

#: The square washers can be placed one slot forward or back to position the adapter on the plate.
#:: A forward position can impede a passenger but provides an easier load on the rack in case that is a priority.
#: Rotate two of the square washers so that the slots alternate direction.
#:: This firmly secures the adapter in the lateral and forward-to-back directions.
#Install the bolts through the washer slots into the top plate.

#: These bolts experience heavy weathering from the wheel below, and then the moisture sticks around.
#: It helps to use some Blue Loctite threadlocker and corrosion inhibitor on the screws and bolts.
# Fasten the cover plate with the four corner PH1 screws.

# Fasten the central two much smaller PH1 screws.
#: The smaller screws seem to be free spinning and the threads do not engage when installed.
#: A work-around is to stuff some plastic bag material or other filler into the plastic column underneath in the mounting plate where each fastener should attach to.
#: This seems like an oversight by Givi and it is not mentioned anywhere in the instruction sheet.
