Re: Top box dilemma

This video shows how to install a lock into a new style K1600 top case, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZU6Sn_6Ge8M I know you need to remove the lock barrel, but it's a start.

Re: BMW Insured Warranty

Paying £35 per month for 7 months is £245, plus an excess of £100. With BMW labour rates alone being around £100 per hour, it's an annual cost I'm prepared to risk spending. If I don't use it all well & good, if I do use it, won't take much to go wrong to rack up £345 in repair bills. Just can'...
