Re: LC Top Box - Back rest options?

I ordered the stuff from MAX BMW - their Hampton, NH store which is 1 hr from my house.&nbsp; When I asked about the latch after getting it home didn't know why it came.&nbsp; I'll push him on it and maybe I can trade the latch for the hinges :-) I have not looked in detail at the invoice th...

Re: LC Top Box - Back rest options?

Hinge replacement issue: I agree there may be an issue if that little bit of the backrest is used for support by the passenger.&nbsp; I'll be keeping an eye on that. And this was the 2016 RT case (without the lights).&nbsp; The installation was straight forward. The bigger backrest comes in ...

Re: LC Top Box - Back rest options?

I'm about to do this.&nbsp; I'll take plenty of pictures.&nbsp; I have read that there is a space issue with the new setup but I can't see how. BTW - the new hinges came with the backrest. FYI - the price was $615 US for the backrest.&nbsp; The case itself was a few dollars more! I have ...

Re: Motor vehicles other than motorcycles

I saw a story on this (in the US) about how people don't realize one of their headlights is out and it came down to three things:&nbsp; 1) DRLs throw enough light on their own 2) cars with fog lights end up taking up the slack and 3) the amount of light thrown by a single light in today's car is...

Re: Heed Engine Crash Bars

I've been trolling several RT related forums collecting options on engine protection and highway pegs and aux lighting.&nbsp; Sometimes you have to go one route to satisfy the other.&nbsp; This winter break is giving me plenty of time to sort out which direction I want to take.
