But definitely a spot that's familiar to most anyone who's been to Torrey. Had a trip planned where I was to spend 6 days in and around Torrey....actually was suppose to have checked out of Broken Spur yesterday......and then covid stepped in and snafu'ed things up But on the bright side, got myself a new to me ride with the money I didn't spend ??? 4 Link to comment

I didn’t even know anything about that - or else I would’ve been looking out for it. We were riding a little aggressive in places at the time, if you know what I mean😉. Good to know about this though. Next time I’ll be on the lookout for it👍 1 Link to comment
Paul4450 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 ‘14 that I got a top case for, but only available in silver. So I bit the bullet and decided to paint it a color I wanted. It was “dark ebony” (appears black in the shade, and dark brown in the sun) and there wasn’t any factory paint available then. 2 Link to comment
Bob, in Vermont Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Can you guys post more pics of the wethead without side cases and top box. Does anyone ride much without them? Bob/Vermont Link to comment
TEWKS Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Not my pics but the RT looks fine without luggage! My bike is always dressed. Link to comment
wbw6cos Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Yeah, I have been meaning to take my RT out and ride it without the cases on, but just never got around to it yet. Not sure if i would notice any difference in the ride, but guessing someone has. I have side case crash guards and they can be removed with an allen head bit in no time. Hmmm, maybe I will give it a try this weekend. Thanks for the reminder. LOL Link to comment

Janky59 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I pretty much ride without the bags so far, having gotten this bike in March of this year. I want the storage for multiple day trips, just haven’t gotten that sort of riding in yet. So, for day rides and commuting (which has gone to nothing since working from home is required) I prefer to leave them off, mainly because I’m not whacking them with my feet getting on and off, and yeah, it’s sleeker without them.

TEWKS Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Nice but it might be a task chasing these graphics down. https://www.bmwsporttouring.com/topic/87538-is-this-a-special-or-decals/ I would have gone this way with my bike, if these were available at the time.

Hi Tewks. I totally agree. I have seen quite a few efforts to add some sort of graphics to the white bike, but so far, this is the only one that really seems to compliment the lines of the bike. 1 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Yeah, agree Andy. Well done but I couldn’t find a web site claiming ownership of them. Maybe a one off custom job? Oh if I had that flat paint in that picture above, (forget the name) I’d be 100% all over those graphics! Link to comment

Haven't decided if I will use the top case for trips yet, cuz Things haven't settled down as I had hoped. I own a LT and I removed the top case on it and went with the Ft. Worth rack. I like using dry bags on extended trips Link to comment

Years ago I painted the top case of my former camhead myself with a kit of sandpaper, primer, paint and clear coat that I bought on Amazon for $60, but this time I decided to get it done professionally at a local body shop -- $110. Still needs a back pad. it looks great, and for that price? no-brainer! 3 Link to comment
