OEM Top Box for 2015 RT
OEM Top Box for 2015 RT
Yes, I know.....extremely overpriced. However, what surprised me today when talking to my local dealer was the fact that this particular top box for my RT is only available with a silver grey/aluminium coloured top, and no San Marino Blue....or any other bike colour for that matter!! Why oh why, as it appears to be a colour coded accessory on the K16 !!?? :wonder:
Re: OEM Top Box for 2015 RT
Think you will find its only colour coded for the GTL which has a different backrest and comes as standard on the bike.. They have been like that since 2005. Before that you could have any colour you wanted so long as it was black.

Okay. Thanks for that RTman10. I've just been looking on the web and see that Moto 24 / Motorrad Store sell them for £537 (incl of lock) + £10 shipping. Still darn expensive but considerably less than from a main dealer at £650 ish ! Do you know of any other source for the light equipped top box apart from the main dealers ?
Re: OEM Top Box for 2015 RT
Remember there are 2 types of this top box. Me thinks the one for £537 might be the one with no electrics in it which means no central locking or brake light.

Just looked at Moto24. Definitely the one with no electrics but its a good price. Odd they quote 19% VAT. Just check on their warranty and if they supply the lock you will need to get a dealer to code it for you before you install it.

They are based in Germany and that's their current rate of VAT in Germany RTman10 wrote: Just looked at Moto24. Odd they quote 19% VAT.

Yes, I spotted that it was the basic box hence my earlier question. Coding locks eh? Any ideas what the dealers generally charge for this 'service'?RTman10 wrote: Just looked at Moto24.

I was looking for a OEM top box as well but prices are way too much, someone put me onto SHAD ordered on ,it arrived today straight from the factory, seriously well impressed with build quality , it comes with mounting brackets you fit on your original frame ,same as OEM box just slip it on and turn key job done , also options for rear light , top rack etc, and a fraction of the price
Also they make boxes for BMW !!

Buy from dealer, probably free. Walk in the door with your key and the lock, probably £25. I would expect you could negotiate about 10% discount off the box and there obviously would be no shipping charges. Warranty would be 24 months.
Re: OEM Top Box for 2015 RT
Thanks for the inputs RTman10 - much appreciated.
Highlandbear, any chance of photos showing the brackets you refer to. I'll take a look at the SHAD option in the meantime. Thanks for the info.

Ah! That's interesting. My local dealer has initially said £660 for the same top box. I'll let you know how dealer negotiation (yeah, right) progresses next week....!!
