Tonights silly question, does anyone make a RH lockable compartment to match tge LH as the blanking panel seems pointless?

Cheers

Hi

It comes as standard with the radio equipped options. You can find them occasionally on Ebay as you are UK you could try https://www.motorworks.co.uk/

Is this what you are looking for, if so, available from BMW too.

STORAGE COMPARTMENT, RIGHT


Putting the Storage compartment bottom right part # 46638544958 in ebay comes up with this, https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from ... 8&_sacat=0

Currently out of stock at Motorworks.

Huge cost for little reward. If no radio utilise space behind speaker's.

Agreed!

The RH compartment is tiny, about the same size as the left, if not smaller. One could just about squeeze an old iPhone 7 in there without a case.

BMW have rectified this on the 2021/2 model with the LED headlight.

Have you thought about a tankbag yet?

Thanks for this, the bike came with a genuine bag, just looking at options for storage

If you're just a small but conveniently located bag I've got a nearly new one of these for sale:-

Thanks for this, but I'll give it a miss as I'm struggling a little with things in the eye line, probably from years of riding naked bikes, or ones with small cockpit fairings, the RT is a real change for me and I'm getting used to it

Dreadnought, I'm getting the impression that you don't yet have a top box for storage.

If that is so, then I can tell you that I have a topbox on all the time and the panniers mounted only for touring. Valaubles are locked in the top-box and other stuff kept in the tank-bag.

Hi yes, I have the full luggage including top box, inner liners, tank bag, just saw a bike with a RH compartment and it sparked my intertest, as I miss the large fairing box on the earlier models

Ive retro fitted the right lockable compartment and find it really usefull for storage of things that stay on the bike.Leatherman, caffeine tablets, spare key batteries etc.Forgotten what it cost now but worth it.

Did you have the key coded ?, I see the connector for the central locking is there to connect up to, did you buy it used or order from a dealer ?.

I ordered all the parts from the dealer and the kindly voded the lock for me.Didnt bother with the central locking solenoid.
I obtained the part numbers from real oem as the dealer wasnt aware of the retro fitment. Order parts for audio ewipped bike
