Chrome Top Box Trim

Post by EasyRider »

I have wanted the chrome trim that goes on the top box where the brake light goes.
But i was not going to pay £142 for a bit of chrome plastic.
Just had my first look of the day on eBay and a secondhand one was for sale.
With a Buy it now price of £75 + £3.29 postage. So i could not pass this up and bought it.
I think it will finish off the bike with all the other chrome part on it.
If it was anyone on here selling it, Thank you.

The chrome top box trim came today and is now fitted.
What a pain it was to fit. I had to make the bolt holes bigger as they did not line up.
The fit is poor as well for a BMW genuine part. The ends at the top are not a great fit.
But for £78 i'm happy as if i paid the £142 new from BMW it would of gone back.

The black plastic one i removed was a stop on fit. You would think the chrome one would be the same.
