2011 GSA now gone (probably in a container on the hgh seas as I type) - the thieving cnuts used an angle grinder to cut through the lugs of the rear rack to force the BMW/Touratech top box off prior to loading it into a car... they left the top box/cut off rack on the drive.
The top box isn't damaged fortunately.
I've replaced the stolen bike with a 2018 GS and sourced a Touratech rear rack wanting to bring my top box back in to service.
The under-side fittings of the 2011 box are different to the new rack
Can someone load me an image of the underside fittings of their top box please so I can see what I'm looking at... or better still, gimme some advice on what I need.
Id ideally like to keep the option of the 'quick release' mechanism as I use a day bag when riding locally.
Open to suggestions too.
TIA 🍻

That looks like it uses the same prongs as the standard BMW box. You will need to source the GSA rear rack if so.
If you're clever - the 800/850 rack is the same and is available in black.
I have that one on the OH's GS and a standard stainless one on mine from here that's powdercoated black.
Takes literally 2 minutes to switch back to the Rallye rack for days when we don't want the top box and the bulk of the grab rails, etc.

This is the underside of my GSA top box. Hope it helps and the lawlessness in this country is appalling nowadays. We need a government and police force that care about us again rather than swinging to the woke all the time.
