Removing Rear Luggage Rack

[j dory]

I have the triple black, came with touring package. I have the side panniers, which i want to keep, it also has a luggage rack and adaptor for a top box, which I don't intend to purchase. I'd like to keep the side pannier mounts but remove the rear rack. Anyone done this? Haven't been able to find a tutorial. Mine has radar in the tail in case that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like I got the same bike. Also looking to take off the top rack.
I haven’t bought the side cases yet but was wondering if you can fit a helmet anyway into the right BMW case?

I haven't tried and don't have them with me right now, but would say almost definitely no. On removing the top rack, adding the innovation package (radar) on the BMW configurator forces you to add the luggage rack, I wonder if it's integrated.

I was hoping there might be a way. I think I might try the Wunderlich cases or I’ll have to go with the oem and top box. We go on a lot of day trips and don’t want to leave the helmets out even if we lock them.
I was planning on trying to take the rack off but saw your post about the radar so was hoping for someone to post instructions.
