I'm just looking a second opinion from someone who know more than me...
I purchased the above bike and it comes with pannier rails and mount at the rear for a top box.
I went to BMW to see what options they had for a top box. The result was I was informed you need a box, a mounting plate, some screws and a few other bits and the total will only be £440
So the question is what the £&@? is the mount of the rear of the bike for? Is it just to basically tie you into BMW luggage or was the guy talking nonsense?
When I was buying the buying I was told it is luggage ready. Buy the stuff and it just pops on, so anyone know what the truth really is?
Unfortunately there is only one dealer here to get advice from.
It would be cheaper for me to take that mount off and buy a givi Trekker box and mount. I'd even have £110 change to use for petrol!
