bmwdavid Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Could the last generation 49 liter top box be mounted to the 2014 1200RT? I can't believe I would have to spend another $1500 for a top box. Link to comment
bmwdavid Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 That is good news. Does it require a special plate adaptor or will it snap right on like the 2013 model? Link to comment
Alfred02 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yes, zero changes required, goes straight on. Link to comment
kgerry Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 BTW, if you paid $1500 for the top box you got ripped... full bore retail is about $850.... Link to comment
strataj Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It's not the same top case as the $850 one but that one will fit and attach. The $1557 top case has electic, you can add a brake light for another $237, it does come with some nice gas shocks, led light, carpet and works with the central locking system. I hate the price but love the case. Just come home from my first trip, 3 days of sMiles. Jay Link to comment
BarryBeemer Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I've got the electrified topcase as well as the add on brake light. A word to the wise...or not so wise. There is a "dome light" on the interior of the case. There is no visible manual on/off switch for this light, but it does come on when you open the lid....and stays on. It's an LED light so doesn't draw much but could run your battery down if the lid is left open for days. There is a fix! The switch for the light is integral with the locking handle. So if you want to leave the lid open (camping or just to air it out) simply close the locking handle and you will have an open lid with the dome light extinguished! Link to comment

I will bear this in mind when I get my 2014 RT, I quite often leave the case open for airing after carrying stuff, guess in a darkish garage (seeing as we are well into autumn as well) I would notice this, nevertheless it is one more thing to watch.

Alfred02 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 No ride again today and still sitting on only 349km total distance traveled. Had to go and pick up a little Honda CRF110F for my boy who is turning 12, plus all the riding gear. Anyway, he is happy and 15 year old daughter was very unhappy, until she was told that she could ride it too. Link to comment

I get delivery on Monday (woohoo) and the weather looks like fining up for a few days. Work will get in the way as it always does but will try and put a few kms in over Easter. The only accessory in stock is the Top Box so I will have to wait for the rest of the bits.... Not too fussed on the lack of guards or the lack of GPS. It won't stop me riding or enjoying the new beast when she turns up. Lets hope they share the little Honda CRF110F sounds like a motocross bike? My Dad let me have a go on his moped when I was 14 and that started me riding... Cheers Teddy Link to comment
