Is there a big difference? Could the mounts be adapted fairly easily?

Which luggage rack? This one that takes the smaller 22L box:
Or the larger flat rack on LTs?

I'm wondering about the one on the RS. I haven't seen an LT, but yeah, I should've thought about the fact that they'd be different.

If it's the smaller rack for the RS, part numbers are the same for 750, 1000 and 1100.

| Just be aware that the small top-box (22l?) has a bad habit of springing open at inopportune times. The lock mechanism is held in place by a large plastic nut, which is susceptible to unscrew when traveling on bumpy roads. The lock gets loose and springs open upon the bike hitting a large bump. As the lid hinges from the back, it immediately catches the wind. The contents of the top box are then free to escape. I lost 2 pairs of wet weather gear and gloves this way today on a far western outback highway (Queensland, Australia). |

Pegasus,
Good reminder. I had found that nut to be slightly loose a while ago. A bit of thread locker ("Locktite") seems to have cured it- at least for now.
Also, as storage goes the 22L box is pretty small and misc. things seem to get jammed into the lock easily. Could have been a better design.
