The bike's box, for the helmet and shopping.
A top box on the motorcycle
The top case is a hard box attached to the back of the motorcycle or scooter. It allows you to leave your helmet on the bike when parking, transport your shopping, laptop, or travel gear, safe from rain and locked up. It’s the most useful accessory for urban riders as well as travelers. Its volume is chosen based on use: a compact model for a jet helmet, a bigger one for two full-face helmets.
By system element
The top case comes in several elements:
Luggage is also available as side cases, saddlebags, cargo bags, luggage for the rider, on the luggage page.
Support, plate and box
A top case is installed in three elements. The support, specific to each motorcycle model and its years, like the Givi supports for Yamaha FJR or Honda CBR, Shad for Yamaha Tracer or Suzuki GSR, or SW-Motech for BMW GS, is fixed to the frame. The plate, like the Givi M5, screws onto the support and holds the box. The top case locks into place and can be removed in one motion. At Givi, the Monokey system accommodates larger boxes and heavier loads, while the Monolock is for more compact boxes.
Choosing and equipping
The top case in plastic, like the Givi Blade and B45+ or the Shad SH40, is lightweight and affordable; the Shad SH58X has an expandable volume. The top case in aluminium, like the Givi Trekker or Shad Terra, is more robust and favoured by travelers. Keep to the maximum load indicated by the manufacturer to avoid destabilising the motorcycle. The backrest Givi supports the passenger's back, the internal bag Shad makes transporting items easier, and replacement lids customise the box.

Frequently asked questions
What volume of top case for storing two helmets?
Allow for about forty-five to fifty litres for two full-face helmets. A top case of about thirty litres is enough for a jet helmet or daily shopping.
How to attach a top case to your motorcycle?
You need a specific support for your motorcycle or scooter model, and then a plate to hold the box. The top case clips on and then can be removed in seconds, and it locks with a key.
What weight can you put in a top case?
The load is limited by the plate and support, from a few kilos up to about fifteen depending on the system. Respect the stated value, as an overloaded top case can destabilise the motorcycle.
Top case in aluminium or plastic?
Aluminium, like the Shad Terra, is robust and waterproof, appreciated by travelers and off-roaders. Plastic, being lighter, fits better with the style of a scooter or touring bike.
What is the purpose of a passenger backrest?
Attached to the top case, it provides back support for the passenger, who feels safer when braking and travels more comfortably on long journeys.
