The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

Guys I am looking for a quality rear top case for my 2013 PCX. I like the Givi cases, but which ones work for my scooter? Also is it possible to use my ignition key to open close etc? What is the largest capacity?

I have a Givi Monolock case on each of our 2013 pcx 150s. They look good and function quite well. You can't rekey any of the GIVI cases as far as I know. However, I don't think they can be opened or removed without the key, so I think they are reasonably safe once installed.

As for the sizes, well you probably would look silly if you installed the largest size one on your little scooter. I installed the one that can only handle a single helmet. I think the 2 helmet version is just too big for a pcx.

Honda cases can work off your ignition key, but I don't think any other can.

I've got a Shad SH45 on my Forza. It's much better than the Givi boxes I've had in the past.

Not sure if you're in the UK, but AJ Sutton are the UK Shad distributor and they're very good to work with.

I just picked up a Shad 29 liter for my new '16, but as far as I can tell, the only difference in terms of fitment is you will have to drill out the holes on your plastic body panel.

The quality of the Shad is quite good, in my opinion, equal to the Givis I have played with in various motorcycle stores here and there - both are a HUGE jump from the Genuine-Branded case that came on by Buddy.

One mistake I made with the Shad, was a lack of understanding that they made an adapter plate just for the PCX. I got the Honda adapter, and I had to drill into it to get everything to fit, and the hack job is not wearing well (my fault completely) and the proper Shad mount is on the way.

In terms of keying the case to your ignition, there is a thread somewhere (Forza subforum, I think) where the poster had a locksmith re-key their case locks to their ignition key - might be worth a look if it is that important.

Good luck,

Mike

I have a Givi E300N2 on my '13 PCX.

Decent quality. Big enough to be useful (30 litre I think) - there are bigger ones available, though I agree with Mel46 that the really big ones would look a bit peculiar on the PCX. YMMV, though...

I have a Givi 42 litre one on mine. It holds 2 helmets and in my opinion it doesn't look too big, in fact I have had numerous comments on how good it looks. It has the brake light for better visibility when stopping.

Thanks all for the input. Can anyone post pics? I think one helmet size is fine since I can put another one under the seat

This is the Shad SH45 on my Forza....

Cool Ass Scoots!
Let's see more topcases on yer PCX. I'm liking this. Make sure you give sizes too!
