The answer might be somewhere in the middle.

Ha, right. I suppose the power would have to be on meaning you are with the bike but still. I guess there is something to protect them from the elements when the trunk is off.
I see. I think the connection is not a wire but metal strips that are both on the rack and the 2025 case. So there is an auto connection. I think. Good job on finding the picture. I do not think the 2025 rack has the holes like the 2024 bases on the picture I posted, used to set the...
Yes, no contest regarding looks. The lower profile of the SHAD works well. And adjustable size? I have never seen that. The price I saw on Amazon was $438.
So if you used only the BMW rack and it still removes easily, I think I am missing a point that just because the bike comes with a...
Right. I was over thinking it. Honestly I am 50-50 at this point. I do like the USB-C in the case and the central locking. I am going to compare some side by side pictures of both cases. One thing I though about this morning, is if the luggage grid that comes with the bike still requires a...
So BMW where I am buying the bike said the new rack is to support the central locking. That makes their case more attractive. I have not read anything about central locking.
All good stuff. Good news it can use the quick release which is what I would guess SHAD will get together for the 2025. If the SHAD adapter plate uses brackets to install it onto the BMW luggage grid, does this mean when you do the quick release with either bag the Luggage grid comes off too...
I did. Since it attaches to the BMW rack using the mounting plates does that make it more difficult to remove? Ideally I would like to have an adapter plate that is able to use the same quick release as the BMW Trunk. The BMW Trunk also has power and a USB C connection. I just wish it was...
This is what I found on BMW Europe for the 2024.
I notice subtle differences. I am trying to have options instead of BMW's 1K trunk. Aftermarket one's will say they fit the BMW Luggage grid but I could see BMW changing that with the 2025.
All Good. One of the simplest upgrades I made years ago and have passed over to new bikes is the helmet hook. Makes for a great place to put the helmet when getting gas and a helmet lock if you buy one the fits the small home. Held on by the bar weight...
Thank You. I enjoyed the video Adirondack Park. Your ideas here are great. Duplicates what the K1600s have. So anxious for the scooter to get here. The Burgman 650 is a bike I no longer have, just wanted to belong until the C400 arrives.
