BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Sounds about right to me and a fair deal.

Not much relevance to mercator1 but did you know Craven are back in business? Brought back memories.

nice - you can't beat top-loading panniers.  So much better than these dumb side-loading ones.


No wonder the boys in blue swap them...

+1 with that.... :whistle:

Top box looks just right for putting a Darth Vadar helmet in, :vader:

I sourced a topbox here for a little over £400  www.bmw-motorrad-bohling.co.uk i

www.bmw-motorrad-bohling.co.uk is where I sourced a TB for just over £400 with new lock in November.

Just checked out that site and £500 for a 49ltr which will probably be extra for locks and back rest not much different from BMW Basic price.

With the purchase of a new RT  I paid $1300....Can someone tell me, does this have to be dealer mounted??  ...Wire harness etc??  I dunno...

I have The 49l electric version and it takes 10 min max to mount/unmount. So, no.

I bought the large box for $1200 with my new ('15) RT.  Dealer told me it was close to his cost.  I like the ability to lock up both helmets inside when we stop and leave the bike unattended.  If I'm out and about by myself I just take it off.  Very simple on and off, and the OEM rack looks good.

I was able to purchase the 49L for $1300...No they wouldnt throw it in on a 2015 RT.... The dealer offered me 20% off any accessory I bought at the same time I purchased the RT... But the deal expired when I took the bike off the dealer floor!

Mine has left the port in Miami headed to me from Germany (Moto24), shipped to my door for $735.

Top case arrived today (14 days since order) from Moto24 in Germany.  Total cost $735 US.

Ah, good news then! Arrived all intact presumably? Out of interest, is there any other paperwork with it other than the purchase invoice. I only ask given the previous forum discussions on this subject, ie proof that the top box is OEM kit etc.
