Great price for 48 litres
Just got this today, shipping was fast. I like it so far. Will update after using for a bit. It’s replacing a givi 29 litre monolock. This one sure holds a lot more stuff but it’s a very tight squeeze to get 2 medium full face helmets in.

Great case
Love the easy on easy off. Only dislike is the top will not stay open on its own, not a deal breaker.

Love it.
This case does everything I need, for a fraction of the price of the other ones I was considering. Plenty of room, holds a medium size: Scorpion AT950, Badlands pants and jacket, gloves and some tools and a couple drinks. Out of the store and gear back on, it disappears an inordinate amount of groceries like a magic trick. People stare in disbelief at how much it can eat, I’ve gotten applause from onlookers.
Mounts tightly to a Kappa M9 plate. Very tightly, be prepared to be frustrated the first time it goes on, but settles in nicely after a few times and as you get more proficient at it, and most importantly, stays tightly mounted over time with taking it on and off many times.
Weight limit seems to be merely for Kappa to avoid any legal liability. Same with the speed limit...so I’ve heard. Although I wouldn’t test the boundaries of both concurrently.
Added the backrest, good, easy install.
Like all top cases, it hangs overtop of the brake light a bit, simply because of how the mounting plate sits. I never had any issues with this, but obviously it reduces your brake light visibility. I’m a bit of a road safety...let’s say, “enthusiast,” so I DIYed some red LED strips inside the reflector for next to nothing, wired them up with an AddMoreLight bike specific plug-and-play wiring harness, cheap and easy.
Aside from the improved aerodynamics with respect to how the wind flows around my body and over my head, I can’t even tell it’s there.
Would buy again in the event I threw my bike on the ground and smashed the top case to pieces, but have no intentions of doing so.

Very Good
This is just what I needed to support a 5-day road trip around Vancouver Island.

This has turned out to be very useful both for quick access storage and for carrying things that need to stay flat. The shape looks good but limits the storage volume for rigid objects.

Quality case with solid construction and mount
It does fit two full-face HJC helmets but barely...probably wouldn't fit two xtra large. I have this paired with the K33 side cases for more than enough luggage capacity. Nice looking top case, wife loves the backrest, no regrets.

Nice looking case.
Decent top box. Looks good. Doesn't fit the base plate as snug as it could, so rattles a bit. Biggest complaint is that although it is advertised as fitting two full face helmets, it doesn't fit our two HJC helmets, which is a real nuisance as now no way to safely store the second helmet.

Questions
which top plate do i need to purchase to fit on the "rack" that i bought "Kappa Top Case Rear Rack - KZ4117 | Kawasaki Z650 2017-2019" ??
To mount this case to your KZ rack, you would need to order one of the MONOKEY® KM5, KM7, KM8A, KM8B, KM9A or KM9B plates.

How do you install this on a 2019 Honda CB300R?
To install a top case to your bike, your need to purchase 3 items.
1- The kappa (or givi they are the same) rack that is specific to your bike.
2- The mounting plate KM5 for monokey top cases (there is another plate for monolock top cases, monokey is the strongest)
3- The top case itself (with monolock or monokey attachment type)

is it comfortable as a passenger backrest ? no way to find a picture of the ''backrest'' side of that case. thank you for helping me
I would suggest also getting the cushion made for the case. The front edge (where the two halves meet) can dig in when you go over bumps (Yamaha FJR1300)

does this cases comes with a plate ? just need to buy the rack
It doesn't come with it. You can buy a Givi M3 or M5 or Kappa KM5 : https://fortnine.ca/en/kappa-monokey-mounting-plate-km5

can I purchase the lid seal, won't stay closed , no seal
You might try emailing Kappa directly for this, especially if you still have a warranty.
The rubber seal can sometimes come out of its place, but it is very easy to put back in place with a flat screwdriver. It happened to me at first, but it never came off gain. Then you need to make sure the lid is well aligned when closing it. To lock it, I put a finger to push the little flap while I lock it with the key. It seems complicated at first, but it is very easy after a few tries.

Est-ce qu'il vient avec kit d'installation et la clé
Il y a 2 clés pour verrouiller le top case. Le rack et le mounting plate sont vendus séparément.
