na1g Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Just installed a V46 GIVI topbox on my brand new R12RT. The Givi came with two keys but I'm thinking a hidden spare key would be smart. My nearby locksmith could not find a key blank to match the Givi, so no copy. There are lots of folks with Givi boxes out there, so someone must have made a key copy. Anyone know the key blank number? BTW, I got the V46 "Tech". All black with a clear (silver) lens. No red. Looks very cool on the Thunder Gray RT. pete Link to comment
Guest Kakugo Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Twisted Throttle carries them: Twisted Throttle . Very pricey but it beats running around looking for the right match. If you still have problems drop me a line and I'll drop by the Givi factory to get one for you. Link to comment
Charles Elms Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 This blank worked for my GIVI topbox. Older (2004) GIVI Key - Toyota or Nissan balnk ILCO X159 TR37. Hope this works for you. Link to comment
tallman Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Charles, Those works for the older versions like you and I have. GIVI changed a few years ago and the key is different. You can get a new lock/key combo for relatively cheap and convert to the newer version. Best wishes. Link to comment
FlyingFinn Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Good info here. Then onto useless chatter.... What someone really needs to do is make available a retrofit kit that converts Givi locks to accept the current gen BMW keys. Just a custom lock cylinder with set of tumblers that allows keying for your existing key. -- Mikko Link to comment
