2016 RT. Top Case "standard" or Add on?

[rick601]

Trading my RT and trying to decide if the top case is included in the dealers used book values. It came somewhat loaded but I don't recall if that top case was part of the trim line or something extra. The dealer has said I can take off any add-ons. If he is going straight off book value I don't want to just throw in the case if it isn't in his equation. I'd rather ask here first...then perhaps mention it to him...or just sell it separate.

[edit] looks like I butchered the word "standard" in the title...can't edit it LOL

If you go to your local dealer website and build a new RT, is the case an add-on or part of a package? (I *think* the RT top case is part of a package, as isn't it wired for keyless?)

Edit: Looks like it might come with a basic topcase, and the painted "touring" case is extra...

Hmm. Its listed as a “storage accessory “. So in 2022 its an add on - 6 years ago maybe also. Good suggestion rockrat. Thanks

On a 2016 RT, any top case would be an option so not in used bike values unless otherwise stated.

On my '16 RT it was an extra option, $1,300 if I recall correctly.

The top case is and always has been a DEALER Option. I traded in my 14R1200RT on a 22R1250RT, I kept my central locking top case with brake light. The dealer re-keyed the lock to match the new bike key. Back in 2014 49L case was only sold in generic silver (some had them custom painted to match the bike), I think it looks good on my 2022 Option 719 Mineral White Metallic bike. (You may of been able to get a painted one but it would of been a color of a K1600)

Keep the top case, sell it here in the marketplace.
Keep a key, or remove the lock core before you give up the keys.

You can always have it painted to match the new bike, I think i costs around $250.
