I picked up the same kit last August and installed it on my Monkey. I also picked up the 26-liter Givi top case they sell as an option for it. I installed the heavy steel plate once when I first got it just for a test fit, but I immediately removed it in favor of installing the base plate for the top case. I’ve left it that way ever since, putting on the quick-attach top case as needed. I love it! Sometimes I’ll strap things to the rack, but if I’m carrying anything more substantial that can’t be easily strapped on (such as a take-out lunch order), I use the top case. The lockbox is great for carrying straps or other small miscellaneous items that I just want to keep with the bike.
Thanks for the comment! I skipped the case from T-Rex and picked one up at Harbor Freight. After mounting it I switched over to a soft top bag and added a Roto-pax 1 gallon can. Video out soon.

excellent install video, to the point and not too much commentary as can happen with other DYI video's.
Glad you liked it! For me less is more, after all who wants to see a 50 year old guys face anyway..lol. Happy New Year to you!

Nice video, do you think it blocks your tail lights at all for tall vehicles?
Looks like a solid rack and easy to install. Good video!
Very solid. I like the fact you can add and remove the top plate and box easily.
