I’m asking for some help from the collective here. I’m on a 2017 non ES and am thinking about a top box. I’ve looked at pictures of a stock tail with the Yamaha box for the Tenere. The rack on mine looks nothing like what I’ve seen.

Any help would be appreciated. Just what have I got?

You can also buy a Givi rack that does away with the whole Yamaha set up, so you can add a Givi box.

If you do decide to go with a Givi/Kappa top case setup.....heres a used one on ebay for half price...& in great cond with all mounting hdw... $53
Search item 264641807467

But....its not an SR371.....its an SR371M
Difference being... The 371 is for any Monokey type case...even Trekkers
371M is for Monolock which are only plastic type cases

The M5M Monolock top plate can be swapped for a M5 (plastic) or M8A (alloy) Monokey plate

I’ve had my Givi top box for 17 years and I got it second hand from a mate. It’ll go with me to my next bike as well.

The Yamaha top box integrates well with the bike, no extra mount required and uses the same key as ignition provided you have the lock that came with the bike. The quality and durability is the same as your Yamaha side boxes, which isn’t top shelf by any means. One thing to keep in mind if you intend to keep your side boxes is the width of any top box must be less than the space between the lids, or you won’t be able to open them.

That’s a very good point gv550, I forgot about that.

If I use my panniers and Givi top box, I have to move the TB in order to open the panniers. Not a major hassle, but something to bear in mind.
