Hey Guys

I am thinking mounting my 50 liter Givi Monokey on my '07 650 Exe. There is someone here that has the OEM Suzuki rack for sale and according to the seller any Monokey Givi will fit it. I was wondering if that was sturdy enough for a loaded (20 lbs or so) Givi. Anyone use it? Would I perhaps be better off with the Givi?

Also, is all I have to do is take off the factory backrest and install the rack in the existing holes?

As always, all replies are appreciated.

Don't know about the Suzuki Rack, I'm sure it's strong enough, but if it mounts through the Suzuki rear plastic does it have metal braces under the plastic to support the weight of the Givi Trunk. Plus you are going to have to buy the Givi mounting plate and it would be an extra cost if you want to have the trunk where it is removable. I personally have always used the Givi mounting system, it all works as it should, but the cost could be a little more.

Are you sure about that? I sure looks to me like the Monokey box should fit right onto the Suzuki one without any sort of adaptor.

Plus like I stated in my post the seller says that any Monokey system fits right onto it. I was just more concerned about how robust it is compared to the Givi.

I have had a Givi rack mounted to my PC800 for over 18 years and it's still going strong.

Now I've seen the Suzuki rack, go for it, I didn't know that the Givi would mount to it. What is the Suzuki part number for that rack?

Haven't a clue. So far I have not even been able to Google it. I may have to give the local Soozook dealer a call and see if they can tell me.

My 2012 Exec is fitted with a 50 litre Givi Monokey topcase on a Givi rack.

My 2013 400 is fitted with a 45 litre Suzuki topcase on a Suzuki rack.

Both topcases fit both racks, so I can use which ever one I need for the day.

Hope that helps.

If you drive a lot with a passenger
Dont buy de Suzuki Rack
Because the extra pressure against the topcase it will bend
