So on another note , what is the cost of a BMW top box for the RT ?
Too much - and it makes the bike ugly too!

Just thought if I am going to spend 16k plus I might as well have an original colour coded top box

Budget a grand for the top box, high level brake light and painted.

If you mean the red Iconic, there are only 200 of them , insurance is a challenge and you will never be able to enjoy it's looks. The tears in your eyes will make it blurred for years having parted with £20K+ to buy it.
I'm not aware of anybody that as pay'ed the 20k+ for the Iconic, if you want one and find one give them an hard time! Bargains or there to be had , and let's face it!! It is the best colour :enjoying:

It is if you like Hondas - that's presumably where BMW got the paint. It was left over from an old batch of Pans (or Civics!).

Strictly speaking BMW didn't get the paint, these bikes are painted by 8 Ball, they are not factory painted. So they are a standard colour, then re-sprayed. Hence its not a factory special. 8)

I believe this paintwork was done by Gonzo's Kuston Paint Shop,

He has recently painted the tank for my XJ650.
