Product Information
Full details
The GIVI PLX1146 side frames are designed for motorcyclists who require a robust, secure mounting system for GIVI Monokey Side cases, specifically the V35 model. These frames offer a seamless integration with your bike's aesthetic while providing a stable foundation for touring gear, making them ideal for long-distance riders. One important caveat is that while the frames can be mounted independently using the optional 1146KIT, they are specifically engineered for particular GIVI case geometries and will not accept standard Monokey top cases or other side case models.

FAQs
Can I mount V35 cases without a rear rack?
Yes, but you must use the optional 1146KIT to provide the necessary support for the side frames when the rear 1146FZ rack is absent.
Are these frames compatible with GIVI Trekker cases?
No, the PLX1146 frames are specifically designed for the V35 Monokey Side case geometry and are not compatible with Trekker or other case styles.
What is the weight capacity of the frames?
While the frames are very strong, you should always adhere to the weight limit specified by your motorcycle's manufacturer for luggage, typically 10kg per side.
Can I install these myself?
Yes, the installation is straightforward for those with basic mechanical skills and standard hand tools, though having a second person to hold the frames in place is recommended.
Does the finish fade over time?
The black coating is durable, but like any motorcycle component, exposure to harsh UV rays and road salt may cause minor fading over several years. Regular cleaning helps maintain the finish.
Troubleshooting
Case does not lock onto the frame
Check the mounting points on the case for debris and ensure the V35 case is aligned properly with the PLX1146 mounting hooks before pushing into the lock.
Rattling or excessive vibration
Verify that all installation bolts are fully torqued and that the vibration-dampening rubber grommets provided with the kit are correctly seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the PLX1146 frames involves securing the steel hardware to the existing motorcycle chassis points. If you are not utilizing the 1146FZ rear rack, you must install the 1146KIT to provide the necessary support brackets. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications to prevent vibration loosening over time.
Care instructions include periodically inspecting the mounting bolts for tightness after the first 500 miles of riding. For cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution to wipe down the black finish; avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could compromise the weather-resistant coating. If you notice any surface oxidation, treat the area immediately with a rust-inhibiting touch-up paint.
