Sounds about right to me and a fair deal.

nice - you can't beat top-loading panniers.  So much better than these dumb side-loading ones.

Top box looks just right for putting a Darth Vadar helmet in, :vader:

Just checked out that site and £500 for a 49ltr which will probably be extra for locks and back rest not much different from BMW Basic price.

I have The 49l electric version and it takes 10 min max to mount/unmount. So, no.

I bought the large box for $1200 with my new ('15) RT.  Dealer told me it was close to his cost.  I like the ability to lock up both helmets inside when we stop and leave the bike unattended.  If I'm out and about by myself I just take it off.  Very simple on and off, and the OEM rack looks good.

I was able to purchase the 49L for $1300...No they wouldnt throw it in on a 2015 RT.... The dealer offered me 20% off any accessory I bought at the same time I purchased the RT... But the deal expired when I took the bike off the dealer floor!

Rollmaster wrote: In the US the list price is $1,600 for the 49L top case.  They were just telling me today that they would give me a near their cost discount of around $1,200.  They are very pricey.  I'm buying a new RT in the process.  Hopefully, that provides some idea of their cost.

Mine has left the port in Miami headed to me from Germany (Moto24), shipped to my door for $735.

Ah, good news then! Arrived all intact presumably? Out of interest, is there any other paperwork with it other than the purchase invoice. I only ask given the previous forum discussions on this subject, ie proof that the top box is OEM kit etc.
