Givi sells a pad that's pretty much universal fitting. I bought one, but sold it on after one use because it's too thick and my wife said that it's more uncomfortable than without the rest. She's happy to sit against the box with her back armour as long as I move it back so she has more space to move around (which also gives me more space.)

I have the Givi one, never fitted it for the same reason as Juv. It's still in the bag.

there is a Suzuki one for the older 'SOFT' branded boxes- the mrs want me to get one. they are about £28 if I remember right. any Suzuki dealer should be able to order it.

Have a look on the Suzuki website /  My Suzuki / Accessories / Select DL650 V-Strom and have a search

https://www.Suzuki-gb.co.uk/motorcycles/accessories/range/v-strom-6501000/1/

OK Part number is - 990D0-06G48-005

I thought about that, it fits a Givi Simply 45l monolock box, not sure if it fits any others.
