I’ve put off furnishing my ‘15 R1200RT with an OEM top case, because I already had one of those BMW gray soft cases, but I’m going on a long trip and could use (notice did not say need) more storage. I can get a Givi top case mount and put a Monokey top case on the bike, but it’s seriously Ducati red and I don’t know, it just looks weird. Who thinks I should bite the bullet and get the OEM, or who is jake with a serious jolt of Ducati red + badge on a Callisto Grey RT?

Repaint?
If I'm not mistaken you can remove the painted portion of the case. Vinyl wrap, repaint to match the bike or, just leave it off. The top case was probably on a ST Ducati; they are hard to come by. You could always list it on the ducati ms site and see what the interest might be.
Nothing wrong with adding a little contrast color to the German grey. YMMV

Thanks for the feedback. The milk crate is my favorite solution
. I have been looking for a used one, the one from CL is for a 2005-2013 model, won’t fit mine. As for the repainting, the top case belongs on my ST4S, which used to be a touring bike for me, but my back can’t do it anymore, so now it’s my day ride bike. Wouldn’t want to take it too far from stock, so repainting-no, plastic dip-no, but a vinyl wrap maybe. How to hide the Ducati badge would be a project. Thanks for the ideas, guys!

Pretty sure the older top cases will fit the newer RTs. I blew my bank account and bought the fully loaded case for my 2018 RT, but when I was shopping for a case everything I saw said the earlier cases will fit the newer RT's rack.
There were a few top cases right here on marketplace.
