RTP trunk on an RS?

I ride my R1100RS mostly solo, and am looking for additional storage. I don't like the normal tail bag setups on the rack behind the passenger seat. It always looks like it is going to fall off, and sits very high.

Has anyone fitted one of those RTP police trunks in place of the passenger seat on an RS? I suspect the rear of the RS and RT are identical, and it will fit, but I don't know for sure and can't find any pictures.

As an idea it is great. I looked into it for my R1100R but mine is much different than the RS or RT. At a gathering I bought a Wunderlich tail bag intended to go on top of the rear seat and then removed my rear seat, formed and mounted an ABS sheet to have a flat surface and attached the tail bag to it. It's top is seldom much higher that the drivers seat and works great to hold stuff one needs. Unfortuneatly it is not waterproof so I need to put a cover on it in real rain. The radio boxes are sometimes on ebay and there is a mounting base I believe.

I didn't used to like tail bag set ups for that very reason myself. Then I put on a Givi V46 on the back of my R11RS. Wonderful addition, when I commute, I only use the topcase, the sidebags are stored in the garage. I really like this arrangement; it stores my laptop case on the way to work, and stores my helmet while it's parked in the parking lot.

However, if it's the "look" you don't like, then I understand.
