R1300 GSA top box, what news?
- Thread starter team duvet
- Start date
Bowker's at Preston got a delivery of silver top boxes last week, they put up a post on Facebook saying they had some still available.
No black ones though.
They are arriving randomly, one at a time and they are fulfilling the oldest orders first, I believe I'm near the top of the list now, so hopefully not too long.

A bit like buying a car and waiting for the boot lid
That top box looks like a total bargain!I know it’s of no great help.
I fitted a black topbox from eBay. It cost £50 new and delivered. Now £61.98. If you watch it. They will send you an offer.
It’s 45lt lined, lockable and has a backrest.
The supplied base plate would not line up without modification to the BMW Carrier.
So I drilled 4 6mm size holes in the base of the topbox, then bolted it directly to the rear carrier with M6 Stainless Cap head bolts. 4 x black M6 x 15mm x 15mm plastic spacers and 8 x 19mm stainless rubber roofing washers. One each side of the Topbox base. These keep it totally waterproof.
Total cost was about £65.
It may be temporary. It may be my permanent fix.

PPF?
You must be the only person who has one. I jokingly said 8’d pay 2k if they could get me one this week….

Got my replacement BMW box about 2 months ago. Finally got around to mounting it up. All works fine.
Paint Protection Film. On my last set it helped to keep them looking fresh and stops them picking up knocks/scratches when they’re not in use or being lugged around.
My dealer phoned earlier to tell me my Top Box had arrived, I ordered it with the Bike mid March. 
They haven't any back rest pads for it though, they are due to arrive late next week.
The other part I've been waiting for is a Mudsling from Nippy Norman's, I've just received an email saying that is on it's way with Royal Mail.
It's all happening this week!

Who is providing/fitting the PPF?@grantmac haven’t used it yet. Looks decent enough quality though. Currently having PPF fitted on the full set, should be back this week.
Sorry but can’t upload photos I’m not privileged enough

This is the same company recommended to me by a friend, who has used them at least a couple of times. I was going to order the tank kit, but looking at the curves I've decided to let them fit it and going to see them this next week.
dumb question but the photo doesn't show the opening clasp......
How do you open it?
How do you open it?
If you look carefully at the picture, lower left side of rear underneath the white lettering, opposite to where the keylock is, there is a black push button. Pushing this (when central locking is off) will pop open the lid.
Absolutely correct
so here we are......6 months after bike ordered still no top box and the fekkin dealer says... ''i dont know......'' 
Great news ! Got my Shad SH 59 fitted today . I had to order the electronic top box rack though I don’t use the electronic bit . The Shad top box mounts to the frame once you’ve taken off the wobbly plate . It fits well and looks great plus is very useful being expandable. Worth the wait and the box is a lot cheaper that the OEM box . The rack on the other hand was vvvv expensive
