Can one of you identify this luggage plate adapter? I was told this is for a Givi top case but I don't know if this is a Monolock or a Monokey adapter.

BTW, I realize I'm probably an idiot but I have tried Google images and I still can't quiet figure out the differences. Maybe monolock has a different rear attachment? I dunno... it's probably super obvious but I am just not seeing it.

To the best of my knowledge....Givi only offers the Monolock style plates in plastic

MM...M5M...M6M & Z113C2

The Monokey versions of these plastic plates are...

M3...M5...M6 & E251

Thanks for that. With the model numbers you provided I was able to compare similar models (M5M to M5) and now I see what separates monokey from monolock.

It has everything to do with whether or not the case slots into the plate, or if the plate slots into the case.

Monokey use two posts on the plate that slide into channels in the bottom of the box.

Monolock has two fins on the box that slide into slots on the back of the mounting plate.

I hope that helps someone else in the future.
