	Well I suppose any top box will fit, since the mounting plates are generic for many models, the problem is the rack to fit it on to the bike. I did make a top box rack for my RSV (when I had one), which used the mounting points for the pillion pegs and a couple of other bolts which were under the subframe. Without knowing too much about the Falco I guess its a question of pulling off the seat fairing, taking a look at the subframe and then seeing what will bear weight (pillion mounts being a good example). I butchered a 2nd hand givi kit from ebay to make it. Turned out quite well in the end.

	Ventura make a rack system which might be adapted to take a top box. mounts to subframe on Rsv's so guess Falco will be the same.

	I fitted a GIVI universal kit in lieu of the correct Falco kit (731FL is Givis part no.) You'll require 1000F monorack and the MM joint set and plate. Total cost was £90.47 from Hein Gerike. I bought the topbox 2nd hand off ebay (£40)

	Thanks for that and sorry I have taken so long to read your reply. Do you have any pics of the finished job ? and is the 1000F a Honda? Cheers Tony
