Sorry to hijack thread, but I am contemplating getting a box for my ADV as well. Other than the 43L box already mentioned above, are there any smaller Givi top boxes that can fit a full face helmet?

My concern is mainly the added drag of the larger box and if it will affect highway speed travel. So I plan to look for as small a box as possible that can fit my HJC CS15.

Tell me what you get, with which rack as well.

Currently looking at the Givi SRV rack for ADV150 + the Givi B32N/B32NB. Seems to fit my needs and Indonesian and Japanese reviewers have confirmed it can fit larger shell full face helmet. I don't plan to store much in there while riding - it will mainly serve as helmet storage while I park.

There is also the newer B33 model that has reflectors, but a bit more expensive for not that much additional storage space.

Not sure if TS still here but just updating: my ADV150 has had the SRV rack and B32N Bold box installed for about a month now.

Installation process was supposed to be simple but there were issues with the screw hole alignment; one of the four holes in the rack would not align with the screw hole in the bike frame. I had to bring it to a Givi Specialist center to have it modded (they cut a bit to make the hole in the rack slightly bigger) and now no issues.

All in all quite convenient having this box around and I believe it is worth the trouble. Just have to keep in mind the ~3kg weight limit cause the rack can only hold a max of 5kg, while the box itself + the plastic part of the rack is about 2kg already. sweat.gif

EDIT: Forgot to mention that yes, the B32N does fit a full face helmet but I think ones with larger shells might not apply. That being said I use a HJC CS-15 and a HJC RPHA MAX Evo both with XL shell size and they both fit. So do make sure to get helmet measurements first.

I bought the src v3 rack and the givi b33nm box. Like you said, installation was tricky. I just brought everything to the tyre shop in front of my house and let them unbox and fix everything up for the free. A regular at the shop. Src quotes 20 Kg weight limit.

Looking at the SRC rack, this seems to be the type like the Givi SRV where you have to put the factory grab handles on top of the rack before screwing it in. That is the most likely cause for the misalignment issues since the manufacturer would have to make 3 holes line up (the one in the grab handle, the one in the rack and the one in the frame) before the screw can be inserted properly.

I did see a Thai made rack on Shopee for around RM 360 which was both tubular steel but also replaced the stock grab handles. That would be much easier to install since you just put the washer on and screw it directly into the frame.

Hope to know how well the 33 liter box serves your needs. I would have bought it as well but I saw a good deal for the 32L one.

the SRCv3 handlebars replaced the original ADV150 handlebars with good (more room) to spare. More space to put fingers below, near body compared to the stock ones. The rack did cost RM600+ though. The 33L givi box, I bought for RM200 with shipping. I did shop around but I found that the ADV box models or with backrest or popular models were quite expensive for the size. I have to spend a lot more for bigger size or popular boxes. in the end, I just want a box to put helmet/groceries in it. Too big and will look weird. Was aiming for the Shad with the brake light as well. A bit expensive. Also, I only use my motorcycle in kampung/groceries. Not really a lot.

My mistake. The rack that I saw was the SRC V2. After looking on Shopee again I can say that the SRC V3 is by far one of the sturdiest looking ones I've seen.

I use my ADV150 for a lot of highway travel, so here's hoping that my Givi SRV rack will hold up.
