Frequently Asked Questions

Is the plate included?
No. With a MONOLOCK® top case you can use the plate already supplied with the top case; with a MONOKEY® the plate (KM5, KM7, KM8A/B, KM9A/B) must be purchased separately.

Is it suitable for the 2017 Africa Twin?
Yes. The KR1144 covers the Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin 2016-2017.

Can I install the stop light kit?
Not with KM8A, KM8B, KM9A, and KM9B plates: with these, it is not possible to install the stop light kit or the remote-controlled opening.

Can I use a Givi top case?
Yes: Kappa and Givi share the Monokey and Monolock systems, so plates and top cases from both brands are interchangeable.
