    Fitting a topbox

    I already own Givi Monokey boxes and want to use one as a topbox primarily for extra security when the kids are riding pillion.  Has anyone fitted the 950 out for a topbox without getting the accessory pack, and, if so how did you go about it as I cannot find a base plate for the 950 to attach the Monokey base to !

    Hi. Take a look at the SW-Motech Street Rack. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sw-motech-street-rack-top-case-rack-ducati-multistrada-1200-enduro-950-1260
    It says it fits the Givi boxes but I have not tried it personally. Good luck.

    Hello BrianB.  As you may know the Ducati top box plate comes with the official Ducati top box, which is not cheap.  It's not officially available separately (I wonder why that is  :232:) so unless you can find someone selling the OEM version second hand on a popular auction site or breakers, SW Motec is the only other option AFAIK.  Personally I don't like the SW Motec solution as it's clamp on, rather than bolt on, although I'm sure it will be fine as others seem to use it with no issue.  I went for the Ducati top box and rack for that reason but again, realise it's not going to be for everyone.  SW Motec do a great range of accessories for our Mutleys (I have their engine bars and handlebar satnav mount for example - both excellent).  Hope you get something sorted.

     I added the Ducati (by Touratech) rear rack, and add/remove the  baseplate for the topbox when I tour. The rack is not to big, and fits fantastic! $230 USD. For me, it was money well spent because I now have a rear rack when needed.

    The Original Ducati Top Box is made by GIvi, and the lock system is the Monokey. So, you can buy the orignal rack parts as "spare parts" in any Ducati seller. The list of parts below, and for the mounting manual search "Top Case Assembly Instructions 96780582A". In my opinion Original looks very much better than Motech. The price is very similar. I buy these, and use my Givi Maxia E52 without problems.

    Desc.                                     Ducati Ref.           Qty.
    RH Strut Support                     473.1.D13.1AA   1

    I have also been looking for a top box for my 950. Have found a frame from Shad.

    https://www.shad.co.uk/product/5137/ducati-multistrada-950-1200-1260-enduro-top-box-fitting-kit

    From their website, it states all top boxes come with a mounting plate. Anybody used these before.
