Hi, not been on here for a long time but I have just purchased a BMW R1200RS and it has a bracket for a top box which I would like to buy a top box to fit. I’m trying to post pictures but I’m having trouble, usually there is a little hair clip sign to go to pictures but nothing here. Can anyone help me out with this, thanks.

you cannot upload pictures unless you subscribe

can you host on onedrive or similar and post a link?

this was my R1200RS, currently for sale at A&D. It has an aluminium Givi Monokey plate instead of the BMW one

This is the most common non OE top box chosen, with Shad coming next.

if you want more info about the R1200RS go to https://www.r1200rsforum.com/ - no subs needed to post pictures, although registration can be intermittent

I have the original rack on mine, anyone got any recommendations on preferably a Givi top box and fixings I would need or maybe Shad top box and fixings ( at least 40 litres).

this the the plate fitted to my ex bike shown above. This Ebay seller is excellent for Givi stuff
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196050801048 very simple to fit.

I used a Givi Monokey E45 box. A box I have owned since 1996 and it was not a new purchase!

There are a couple of secondhand Givi Monokey V47 boxes on Ebay from £140 delivered.
 
This is the BMW rack fitted to the RS. It will take either the standard BMW top box, or the Vario one off a 1200/1250 LC GS

There's a white top box for sale on here

If using a Vario box off a 1200GS be aware it needs to be the box for the liquid cooled models 2013 onwards.

If you need at least 40 litres you can also fit the 49 litre box for the Gen1 S1000XR. There’s a small non-destructive mod needs doing first though.

I purchased a Givi B45 + top box and bracket then adapted the metal fixing plate for fitment.
Nice box, looks good on the bike. Would post pictures but. It subscribed.
Thanks for the replies.
