Rear Rack on a 2017 R1200 RT

Post by horand »

Hi
Does anyone know when the latest rear rack was introduced to the current 2017 RT.
I’m interested in buying a second hand top box but need to make sure it is compatible with my 2017 RT.
I haven’t found a box yet.
Thanks
David

I am pretty sure you can choose any top case back to the first Hexheads in 2005.

My top box from a 2009 K1300GT (panniers the same as the pre-LC 1200RT) dropped straight on to my 2016 LC.

My old 49 litre top box from my old 2005 RT fits straight on to my 2016 RT. In some respects the old style top box is better because it has a carrying handle. The new style from 2014 does not.
