This entire top case project from Sierra BMW has been a complete disaster. I spent over $1,6000.00 on ths OEM BMW top case. I have invested entire days trying to get this silly lock mechanism (that was included) to fit and work properly into the top case.
Unsuccessful. A complete waste of 2 days of productivity. How hard can it be for Sierra BMW to ship out a tip case with a lock that works. Also, no brake/tail light included.
Bought one of the first 2014 R1200RT's back in March of 2014 + Schuberth C3|Pro helmet. Face Sheild lasted quite a while. It was time to replace. Schuberth is worth the money.
The pinlock stays in place all year.
One of the few necessary bits of protection for a boxer, imo. Well made, easy install. Pricey, but peace of mind for something that will certainly work in the event of a tip or lay down. Stay safe people.
