Givi monolock replacement keys

[Vard]

Hi BB'ers

Has anybody any experience of getting replacement keys for a Givi monolock top box?

I've bought a box (E450) off a guy on an another forum and the keys have gone awol in transit, a local locksmith has got it open but I still need the keys. The only option on the internet seems to be to buy a new barrel plus keys but fitting looks a bit of a faff. I've got the existing barrel number so hoping to just get keys for that if at all possible.

I've dropped Givi an email but their after service looks variable from what I've read.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks UnluckyTimmeh - way more helpful than Givi as I haven't heard back from them yet

The barrel number is 055, anything you can do is much appreciated

I've got a couple more questions re fititng the rack to the bike (a '98 Fazer 600 commuter tool):

1. Other than where it attaches by the rear indicators (see next question!) do you know if any additional bolts are required? I wasn't povided with any so hoping I can use the existing bolts on the bike

2. A bolt has seized in 1 of the rear brackets (not checked if left or right yet)that mounts near the rear indicator plus the bolt head has sheared off, the seller assures me he was using it like this with no bother, but I'd prefer to pick up a new bracket and bolt; are they avialable?

Although fittng looks fairly straight forward I'm going to scan the internet for intructions.

Cheers

Cheers for the info EvoBarry

I need to measure it up against the bike properly, looking like the weekend for that though

I got through to Givi by phone but not particularly helpful - they can sell me 2 blank keys or a new barrel and 2 keys but that's it. It was all a bit "computer says no".

I think I'll just try my luck at a locksmith to get a copy of the key my good fiend UnluckyTimmeh is sending

I've found fitting instructions online http://media.givi.it/Prodotti/istruzioni/340F.pdf so now know the bits I'm missing - items 3, 5, 6, 7 and 10; I can probably pick the bolts up so less concerned about them but does anybody have the spacers (items 3 & 5)?

The support bracket is item 2 - I still need to determine whether it's left or right that has the seized bolt in it but am on the lookout for 1!

[Vard]

The key's arrived and works - result!

Thanks so much Tim. Could you send that blank now too?

I must owe you something for this so please let me know

[Vard]

Thanks Tim, much obliged. I'll be sure to send any future business your way.

With respect to the support bracket I now know it's the right 1 I would like to get a replacement for. I've tried the general phone number and email ([e-mail]) to no avail so does anybody have a good contact for technical support?

[Vard]

Thanks (again!) Tim, that would be great

It's just the right hand support bracket, as opposed to the whole arm, I'm after. Item 2 (well right hand equivalent of) on here http://media.givi.it/Prodotti/istruzioni/340F.pdf

Also the bolts and spacers (items 3, 5, 6, & 7) if at all possible

[Vard]

The blank key has arrived Tim, much appreciated

I'm having the rack fitted (and bike serviced) on Saturday, could your Givi contact help with the bits?

[Vard]

All sorted now - standard bolts can be used for anyone in the same situation

Thanks again Tim for sorting keys out
