I know that is the recommended speed limit, and 22 LBS is the weight limit... Buuuuuut, what's the fastest anyone has gone with them loaded up?
The V46 on my K1200RS didn't have a speed rating either. The Trekkers showed up with a separate warning card, with speed and load ratings.Hmmm.... never seen any speed limits on Givi cases that I’ve had fitted. I had V37s cases and a 46 litre top box on my Versys and I have a pair of 36 litre Dolomitis on my SuperTen and never seen a max speed warning about them.
Maybe it is a requirement for equipment sold on the American market? I have had Givi equipment with a sticker showing maximum load, but not a speed restriction.The V46 on my K1200RS didn't have a speed rating either. The Trekkers showed up with a separate warning card, with speed and load ratings.
What's the max speed on a freeway in the States ? Maybe it's in line with that ?Maybe it is a requirement for equipment sold on the American market? I have had Givi equipment with a sticker showing maximum load, but not a speed restriction.
It changes depending on the state, goes from the standard 55MPH to 85MPH. (roughly ~90KM/H to ~140KM/H)What's the max speed on a freeway in the States ? Maybe it's in line with that ?
They don't want you overloading the bike. I don't ride 2up, so I'd need quite a bit of gear to max out.The owners manual cautions to fit either the panniers or the top box, but not both at the same time. Total legal CYA stuff if you ask me.
I have clocked 120mph 2 up with full luggage no problem. I dont like those big topboxes as they are too wide and sit too far back. I mounted the aluminum plate for mine as far forward as i could and removed all the plastic shite.They don't want you overloading the bike.

It's like the fjr, the oe top cases are mono lock so only take a very low weight capacity . Pop a monokey 46 ltr top box on the oe rack and watch as it waves goodbye and comes off.........They don't want you overloading the bike. I don't ride 2up, so I'd need quite a bit of gear to max out.
Haven't had a problem with the GIVI Monolock 46l. Makes me glad I never wanted a smaller monolock. It would have come off already, on my K1200RS.Pop a monokey 46 ltr top box on the oe rack and watch as it waves goodbye and comes off.........
Problem comes if u overload a mono lock usually the rack is only designed for 6kg . Box is prob about 3kg so it doesnt take much capacity wise before u are over the limit and the fixings give wayHaven't had a problem with the GIVI Monolock 46l.
