No, that stays in place.

Like the Sheriff said, that stays in place.
That is the part that someone had made out of aluminum on my bike to mount a universal Givi mount to.
When I got my OEM case I removed the Givi plate and attached the 2 Pan mounts to it. It was either that or I had to purchase that part to fill in the gaps.
The carrier plate mounts thru the same holes as the grab rail cover. The grab rail cover becomes a filler in between or you'd see some "holes" at the rear of the passenger seat.

Thanks for the clarification. That should make the carrier bracket fabrication simpler.

I promised some pics.
1. Carrier. (Not my cat)
2. Doing some eyeballing.
3. Fabricated lid stay. (One side was missing)
4. Original stay

Awesome!
Thanks
I didn't even notice the fabricated stay was different (both the brass knob and the stay cable) until you mentioned it. Good job!

Has anyone been able to modify the top case to match the lock to the rest of the bike so you only need one key?
Thanks
Thanks
Does anyone know where I can buy the mounting hardware pictured below? Most places show it as being discontinued.

Unfortunately it doesn’t have any of the bolts, washers and caps. Which is what I need the most.

Ah, ok, sorry. You should be able to find fasteners that will work at a good hardware supplier like Grainger or Fastenal. The caps/plugs will be more difficult to find.
Great Information Thanks !!!!!
As said above the hardware (bolts, washers & nuts) can be picked up anywhere as long as it's the proper size. The caps are not really required as the top box would cover them. The only thing you'd have to get creative with is the oval rubber bushings that give the top plate some side to side movement. It's not a deal breaker though if you end up securing the top box so there isn't any side to side play.
If you cannot find the real base plate, you can make one yourself. I made one from a plastic cutting board that basically sat between the top box mounting plate and the rear carrier on the bike. The material was easy to work with. Bolts and nuts can be found anywhere.
Hello everyone, I am trying to source a Carrier Bracket (#2 in picture) and a Base Mount (#3 in picture) for my ST1300 topbox. Although the Base Mount is easier to find, I am unable to find the Carrier Bracket.
However, I did find a set (Carrier Bracket + Base Mount) that came off of a 45L topbox that was on a Honda Forza NSS300.
Does anyone know whether the nut/bolt slots on the Guard Rail Cover of the ST1300 have the same dimensions as those on the Honda Forza? If they are, I could easily use the carrier bracket from the Forza on my ST1300.
Hope to receive a response from some of you.

I had a friend make a plate for me that I was able to bolt #2 directly to. Made from 1/8" aluminum with 1/4" stiffner brackets.
