- Just showing off my new Givi Top Case on my Honda Goldwing F6B. I love it but may still have it painted all Gloss Black over the Winter. So I have plenty of time to make it happen.
Thanks for this Chris. I love it....
Will definitely use some of these ideas.
You made my choice simple now, you really don’t know, but you have.
Thanks, I'm really glad that I can help. Feel free for any Questions. What Bike do you ride?
Looks great. Yes you could paint it if you so desired to.
Givi makes some excellent trunk top boxes.
Thanks for the overview. Securing my full face helmet out of sight while on the rode has been a recurring problem. This is a practical solution and the easy removal is a plus.
Thanks!!! It does have easy removal but I leave it on full time it looks so good! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Perfect for when you need the extra cargo space. Digging the blacked out pieces, even the small stuff makes a big difference -- attention to detail!
Thanks for watching and commenting. That case should be back this week from being painted. (Black of course)
@@christophersmith5116 Nice! I'll stay tuned!
That's sweet, and sturdy is the word don't need nothing breaking or flying off.
So Right... Thank you for watching and commenting.
Thanks for sharing, Chris. Great job! At first glance it looks the same size as the 2017. I agree with your plans to color match. Maybe you might want to add some lights with quick release connectors. Just a thought.
Great to see you still have good riding weather.
Thanks my brother for the earlier shoutout, and I do plan on responding in a Vlog.
Ride Safely!
That looks pretty darn good! I would definitely like to have that for long trips, the ability to just unhook that sucker and take it in like luggage that would be awesome.
Thanks John, i love the thing! Also thinking about the Uni-go trailer as well. You can just un hook it and take into your Hotel. Plus it only weighs in at about 70lbs. The Two wheel trailer start at about 140lbs. and with no reverse on the "B" probably would't be a good choice. But that's later down the road.
Hey Chris - wanted to give you a big shoutout and UPs about the Givi V56 Top Box. I added that to my 2015 F6B ‘Lil Blue’. The brake LED lighting kit is a snap to install so love the added safety.
I’ve removed the passenger backrest to mod the V56 Top Box to add the Harley Tour Pack wraparound passenger Backrest. Waiting for that to arrive this week. Photos of that project when it’s done.
Yeah - the planned mods change the use of the Top Box but for us, I need that type of storage when riding 2up. Place to store helmets and other essentials when planned for overnight.
Great review of the V56 and look on the F6B!
Glad to help!!! You got me gonna add the Brake light now LOL... Can't wait to see your finished project! Do you plan on color matching yours? (Did you see my vid of it paint Matched?) I Love it. I don't even take it off. Thank You for the Shout Out and Great Comments!
@@christophersmith5116 yes, am going to paint the grey to match
Thanks for the video I put the 47 litter Givi on my F6b looks good and is very functional.
Chris, I think you should match it to your bike - it looks great
Thanks Sam, I do think that i'm going to have it painted. I't still looks Good as is. I love it! Thank you once again for your support.
Awesome upgrade Chris, I'm adding that to my wishlist for this summer
I think you will be very pleased...
Just bought mine to go on my BMW K1300s. Nice review. I saw the other one 1st after painted, & I didn't know you did this one. So thanks for pointing that out. Does look good on the bike.
Thank You for the Nice Comments. Hope yours works out good for you to.
Beautiful F6B, the givi trunk looks nice and givi makes quality gear. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for your very nice Comments. Stay tune as I get the Top case back from painting to match the Bike. I think it look REALLY nice. Thanks once again.
That looks very nice Chris. Great buy 👍. One love
Thanks Kim, bout to have it painted Gloss Black.
Christopher Smith put a video before and after on the work . That would make a good video. One love my friend .
Kim I guess great minds think alike. I was thinking about that. LOL
Chris , that tour pack is wicked cool. I might have to get me one of those for my F6B. I still have the original seat like yourself but , i need a back rest.
Brother Chris great mod/addition I shared this video with a couple of my friends with the Honda F6Bs and they love the mod and are looking into adding the trunk on I think it looks great I think you should paint it gloss to match big black that would look awesome but it looks great now as well keep the great vids coming bro! Be blessed!
Thanks my Friend and thanks for sharing my Vid! I'm in the process of finding a good painter now. I've talked to the guy that painted Chris Caliente trailer. He's suppose to be very good at matching goldwing paint. Thanks for the GREAT comment.
Wild. Booker T Washington lived where I grew up in Franklin County VA. And I had 2 F6B's!!
Thank You Mike for that Info. You had 2 F6B's, how lucky of you! Do you still ride? if so what do you ride? Thanks again for watching and commenting.
@@christophersmith5116 I have a Kawasaki Z900RS in black that I ride some. I found out the hard way you go from no wind protection to having it, not the other way around!! Probably gonna go with another Wing or F6B and have two bikes so the wife and I can go back to weekend mountain rides every now and then. Trying to pull that off. I just dont like the matte satin paint jobs on anything, a new F6B is probably out. Love the black/gold/gray 16 Wing.
Nice choice Chris. I've got the 52 liter Givi Trekker on my B. On and off in 5 seconds flat. Also, good looking B in all black.
Thank you so much Walcrow! I just sent the case off for painting (Gloss Black) and hope it turns out Good. Would love to see your B.
Hey there Chris, new subscriber here, I'm located in Atlantic Canada BTW.
I sold my Vulcan 1600 Classic (awesome bike) last summer and ended up buying a black 2014 F6B with ABS. Man, I couldn't be any happier with the switch, should have done it sooner! I'm going to turn 59 in June so this will very likely be my "forever" bike.
Just by some fluke I found a great deal on a new Show Chrome luggage rack in smoke chrome for 60% at my local bike shop, that was actually less than the dealer payed for it, so it was a no-brainer to buy that thing. Then just by pure luck after that I decided to check out a pawnshop and spotted a used Givi v56 top case and that got me thinking, why not bolt that to the top of the luggage rack that I just bought? So I bought it seeing as the price was very decent too luckily. The quality of this top case is very good indeed.
I've yet to be able to install it on my bike because here in my area it's still pretty crappy weather and my bike is still stuck in winter storage that I rent.
But it was really neat being able to see how it will look, thanks for the couple of videos that you uploaded on this.
Do you find that the bike handles a bit weird with that trunk being set back like that? The GL1800's trunk is tucked in closer to the passenger backrest, not as far back on the bike.
I might consider removing the passenger backrest on my bike and move the v56 top case more towards the passenger and fasten a backrest on the top case but unfortunately the used v56 top case that I bought didn't come with it. Maybe I could improvise and stick just a pad onto the case somehow.....
Anyways, it was nice checking out some of your F6B videos, they really help pass the time until I can get my bike back.
These F6B bikes are simply awesome!
If mine ever dies or gets wrecked I will definately seek out another one as I can't see going with anything else after getting to know this bad boy.
Ride safe brother and keep the videos coming. Charlie A. in Moncton, New Brunswick
Hey there!!! My top case is attached to the rack by using a universal mount sold by Givi. I've had a 12 pack in it before and it did not affect the bike/ride at all. It really is not as far back as it looks, it's about 3 inches from the end of the bike. The F6B is a exciting bike and I will always have this bike in my Garage! So nice for the Canadian models to have "ABS". Thank you for the great comment and watching. BTW, did you see my vids where I had the Top case paint matched?
@@christophersmith5116 Yes Chris I certainly did check out your other video where you show this case with the new paint job, looks great BTW.
My v56 is black like yours was originally but that middle section on mine is silver and not the black carbon look of your trunk before you got it painted.
I did get the Givi Universal mount with mine luckily so I will be able to mount that onto my Show Chrome luggage rack similar to how you mounted yours in those videos. It's a fantastic top case, it reminds me of the side cases on my wife's BMW R1200R but just bigger.
I checked out the mounting rack that mates this case to the F6B but boy it's pretty expensive (no surprise there).
I think I'm just going to do what you did. I won't even leave the Givi Universal mount on there most of the time because I just want that thing on my bike the odd time that me and my wife get away for a few days on a little road trip.
And yes the F6B is an exciting bike, when I went to buy it from the seller last summer he insisted that I take it out for a good long ride around the countryside. So once I got out on the road with his bike it took me like no time at all to bond with this bike.
That whole 20-30 minutes that I was out with his bike I kept saying to myself how great of a bike it was. Ticked all of the boxes for me so I bought it, absolutely no regrets buying this thing.
Actually, over the last few months I went bananas buying add-ons for it like a heated Corbin Dual Touring Saddle, Madstad windshield, four Pathfinder LED headlight bulbs, Pathfinder rectangular Fog/signal light/DRL cowl lights, motorcycle half-cover and the luggage rack and Givi v56 top case of course.
I was even lucky enough to buy a lightly used set of Helm/Honda Service manuals with binder from a fellow Canadian, that is going to be awesome help with some of the maintenance that I plan on doing on this bike.
I even bought a 20 DVD set of Fred's Gold Wing maintenance videos.
Then I got laid off! LOL
Oh well, we'll be OK as I don't see being off work for too long, plus my wife is still working, thank God!
Thanks Chris, nice talking to you. I hope you guys don't get rocked by this Covid-19 stuff too bad and that you stay healthy.
Enjoy this upcoming riding season brother.

Hey Chris thanks for the video for the Givi trunk case. Looks great and I been looking to see if Honda made a trunk for the F6B. Your idea is clean and probably a lot cheaper!! Keep up the blogs my man!
Thanks. I don't think Honda makes anything for it. What you see in this Video was about $440.(Trunk and mounting bracket). Thanks for the Great comment!
The case looks good :-) got to love the extra storage :-) RSMF.
I think it looks pretty good to and I love the extra space and that it's removable.
It looks great. This video definitely help me make a decision because I was torn between the f6b and the touring 1800. The f6b gives you the option
Glad this helped you with your decision! Thank You for the Great Comment!
BEAUTIFUL BIKE!!...NICE TRUNK!..
Why Thank You! Since this Vid I've had the Trunk painted Gloss Black to match the Bike, will try to get a Vid out this Weekend. So stay tuned. Thanks for the Great Comment.
Chris thanks for the video this was I was looking for . I have a 2013 that I rode the whole American Continent is a great bike did not have any problems but need that extra space on a long trips , the Best part is removable not loosing that F6B LOOKS . one question . Did you wire the Brake lights if so can you show me how , thanks
Thank you for the Great Comment and Support! I'm glad this video helped you. I have not did the Brake light yet. Thanks.
Nice trunk Chris!
Thanks JP! Check out the paint update on it. ruclips.net/video/55W42rhPrKQ/видео.html Thanks for the Great Comment and your Support.
Chris,
I own two bikes, 2000 Honda Shadow VT 1100c3 & 2010 Harley Davidson Road King but considering the Goldwing...wanted the look you have but the capability of what you’ve shown here..
Been doing my research. Checking out several other bloggers too.....
Love the look....I’m sold, getting an FXB.....for this CALIFORNIA sunshine...😁😁😁
So glad to hear that, I love mine!!!
great job, wldv liked2c how u rigged it on and wat is necessary? also, what is the saddle bag capacity on the f6b?
You will need the Givi Universal mounting rack, witch will mount on top of your luggage rack. My 2013 F6B has Two 22 Liters saddle bags. 44 Liters Total. My Givi Top Case is 56 Liters. Thank you for watching and Commenting.
Awesome looking bike and the tour pack is okay without the gloss black paint.
Thanks George for the GREAT comment!!! I did have it painted and it did turn out pretty Good. Thanks for your Support.
chris, the this trunk mount fits on the f6b honda stock rack? (deluxe/ or no deluxe) , its compatible? dang yo, that wld b nice
thanks!
The Givi Top Case along with the Givi universal mounting bracket will fit the Honda aftermarket Luggage rack. I have the MP4 Luggage rack that they no longer sell.
Looks great 👍
Thanks!!! I did have it painted in a later vid, check it out. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Good evening Chris. I have a 2014 F6B and I also have the MP3 rack and a Honda passenger backrest.
Before I throw my money at this can you confirm that what you used was the GIVI E251 Universal Monokey Topcase Mounting Kit.
I have been wanting to put a GIVI case on the back but thought that the way the the lip on the MP3 turns up would stop this from getting the job done. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Yes, that is exactly what I have (Givi E251). The small lip on the rack makes this install even better. The Mounting bracket makes this really simple but mount it so that the Topcase is not touching the Passenger back rest (Give about an 1/4 of an inch). Fell free to reach out to me for any other assistance. Do you plan on color matching it.
@@christophersmith5116 I will try to pick a used one and look at the accessory panels in red.
Great video. You might want to look into wrapping your case with matched color
Thanks for the Great comment! But I had it custom matched painted. Check out the updated video. Thanks once again.
How about showing the 2017 and 2018 you spoke about.
Beautiful bike, Mr. Chris! Not only would I like to have that Givi, what about that windshield? Who makes it? How much did that sucker cost? And is it still available in this year of CoVid19? God bless you, buddy!
Thank You Keith!!! The Windscreen is a F4 18 inch tint made by F4 Customs. I believe I paid over $400 for it. It is still available. Thank You for the Great comment and Support.
Thank You, Chris! I'll look into it! I am not going to flatter you about your good taste, but I may imitate a bit of it! Blessings!
Look very nice brother
Thank You Maximo Lopez. I just got the Top Case back from being painted (Gloss Black) so stay tuned please. Thanks for the Great Comment!
Bought the rack and I'm installing it today. Can you give me a measurement for how far back you placed the adaptor? My plan is to have it on and go try out a box. Just don't want it too close so that when I try the box it jams on the back rest. Thanks in advance.
Hey Thanks. Sorry for seeing this so late. Place the Top Case in the mounting Bracket and then just adjust from there by moving the set up back and forth to your desired position and then just tighten down. I have mine about 1/4 inch from the passenger back rest. This way if you ever have a passenger they can lean back and not put pressure on the Top Case. Hope this helps. Fell free for any other Questions.
Do you have a link of the $60 baseplate you bought?
NICE !!!! Looks like it was meant to be on there. The repaint would be a great idea however. :-)
Thanks Coyote i'm trying to find a good paint shop right now. Thanks for the comment.
Hey Chris dbest1a sent me love your bike
Thank you Phillip. I watched you and Dbest1a's Ride dual vlog and I loved it. You two had very good Chemistry. Thanks for the support.
@@christophersmith5116 are you in pa I would ride with you or we could ride with you
Phillip i'm in Lexington,KY.
@@christophersmith5116 well kinda far for me but I wouldn't mind riding with you . I'm up north
I wouldn't mind riding with you to Phillip, you seem like you like to have fun and ride your bike. Seems like you don't have a care in the World! LOL. And there nothing wrong with that.
Great Video 👍🏿. Who installed the drivers backrest on the stock seat.
Thanks Victor! I did the Install myself.
Gloss black paint is a good look.
Thanks Kawasaki Kris! I just got the Top Case back for the second time and will be posting an update Video when Weather permits. Thanks for your Comment.
@@christophersmith5116 looking forward to the finished product.
It’s looks good and you should paint it the color of the bike.
Thanks, working on the paint right now.
Hey Chris, how are you still liking the 18" F4Customs windshield? I'm thinking about getting one for my 2015.
Pros/Cons?
Still loving it! Pros: Looks good and does what it's suppose to do. Everything they say about it is true. Cons: None that I can think of. Well, wish it had a way of mounting a Windshield pouch on it. O, don't be afraid to get the light Tint.
Looks good to me !
Thanks Carl, I think it's gonna look even better once painted.
u gotta 'pay 2play' lmfao!!! good one, i would think the pass upper back wld hit the givi case and irritate it, unless u put the givi 'back rest pad on there.......interesting, i'd like2find one used for half price, thanks!
Can you give me the part number to the monokey bracket as I have the same luggage rack on my f6b.
Thanks Mike
Givi E251 Universal Monokey Topcase Mounting Kit. Model#8019606168887
Question - how effective is the luggage rack with the Givi mount in place? I have about the same setup on my F6B and use a Secidi Sissy Bar Bag on my rack.
Very Effective!!! I've carried a 12 pack in it down very bumpy terrain with no issues. I Love it.
@@christophersmith5116 Thanks much - I checked out the universal mount and see how it connects now. Yep - easy install and still allows the rack to be usable with it mounted. Ordered my mount just now. Shopping around for a good price point for the V56 w/Red Lens. This was a great find - thanks for posting your upgrade.
What is the mounting bracket called, and where can you purchase it at?
@@eurone215 Hi there, sorry for late reply. Was traveling back home from Thanksgiving. It’s the GIVI Monokey Universal Mount E251. It fits the GIVI V56 to box perfectly to provide power to the box when you want to add a brake light kit.
@@pcninja9266 thanks a lot, and have a great holiday
Looks great! Nice system. Did you end up painting it?
Yes I did. I did a followup video of it. Turned out really Great! Thanks for the support my Friend.
@@christophersmith5116 Just haven't gotten to that video yet. Hope you don't mind me commenting on older videos.
I love it , look good bra.
Ijust got it back (For the second time LOL!) and will be posting a vid when Weather permits, but I think it looks pretty Darn Good. Stay tuned and thanks for the Great comment and the Support.
If I added a hard case or got a bike with one I want it to be removable.....
That option is the Best of Both Worlds if you ask me.
Paint it!
Wrape it.
Thanks Frank, but I had it paint Gloss Black. Thank you for your comment and Support.
