Shipping notice: truck drivers' strike in Italy
Updated 19/10/2026
Since 16 October, truck drivers protesting against high diesel prices have been blocking roads and ports in Southern Italy (Campania, Calabria, Sicily, Puglia, Basilicata), and the protest could spread to the rest of the country. The strike affects all our shipments, in Italy and abroad: Poste Italiane is currently not collecting parcels, while BRT and DHL are collecting as usual but deliveries may be delayed in some areas.
- Italy we ship with BRT and DHL · possible delivery delays
- European Union for now we ship with DHL only · possible delays
- Non-EU countries (customs) shipments temporarily suspended: they will leave as soon as Poste Italiane resumes collections
We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
Suggest your price, we'll reply within 24 working hours
The Kappa K638 is the passenger backrest made of foam rubber covered with fabric that the Kappa catalog lists as an optional for three Monolock® top cases: K466 Urban (46 liters), K400 (40 liters), and K355 (35 liters). It attaches to the top case lid and provides back support for the passenger. It is sold separately: the top case is not included.
✓ Strengths
- Foam rubber covered with fabric – it is the only Kappa backrest that is padded and covered, not molded polyurethane
- Three top cases with a single code – K466 Urban, K400, and K355, all Monolock®
- Uniform black – matches the lid without clashing
- Back support – the passenger no longer has to hold on with just their arms
- Original Kappa Moto (Givi S.p.A.), not aftermarket

The name, material, and top case compatibility are transcribed from the official Kappa Moto accessories catalog, where the K638 "Foam rubber backrest, covered with fabric" is listed as an optional for these three top cases.
• Each Kappa top case has its own backrest. The catalog assigns K627 to the K35 Action, K633 to the K47 Manta, K642 to the K45N and K320N Cube, K645 to the K'Metrobox, K131 to the K4900 K'Vanguard. If your top case is not among the three in the table, please write to us before ordering and we will tell you the correct code.
• The top case is not included: only the backrest is provided here.
• We do not publish the measurements because Kappa does not provide them for this code. If you need the exact dimensions, please write to us: we will measure it on the actual item.
Who it's perfect for
For those who own a K466 Urban, K400, or K355 and often carry a passenger. Among Kappa backrests, this is the only one that is padded and fabric-covered instead of molded polyurethane: you can feel the difference against your back, especially on long journeys. It's also the part you look for when the old one is worn out but the top case is still perfect.
Original accessory from Kappa Moto (Givi S.p.A.), new and packaged. 24-month legal guarantee of conformity. Moon Bike S.r.l. is an authorized dealer based in Cercola (NA): tracked shipping and invoice included. If you have any doubts about your top case, please write to us before ordering.
