I would like to swap my, presumambly factory supplied "Gilera Fuoco" top box from my 2010 Anniversary Fuoco to my 2008 while I change the front bearings.
Cannot see how to remove it.
No internal fittings, small aluminium rack below, the end of a blind screw appears below the centre of the box, but no access on top from within the box. Any suggestions for this proposed temporary swap appreciated.

The original Fuoco top-box was a Gilera badged Givi removable one. Perhaps yours is different?

Switched the Shad top box from one Fuoco the the other in just over half an hour, well made peice of kit. The previous owner was 91, so that gives me another twenty years of fun! Really appreciate this friendly helpful forum to help keep on the road, big shout out for "Go Full Throttle" for their helpful advice in Kilmarnock
