Part # 8200300-302
Top Case Rack
Available in: Chrome, Black or Silver

Unit is easy to install but just as easy to become difficult. There is no template and all centering is done on the top of the case. Before choosing where to provide the holes for the rack, check out the bottom of your case. There are protrusions you have to watch out for so the provided special washers sit flat and do not hit the protrusions on the underside of the top case. Otherwise a very good product with adequate instructions.

The directions were simple to follow. Two Youtube videos, both linked to the Wunderlich website's Top Case Rack page, were also very helpful. This rack will allow me to travel a greater distance as I can now load light, but bulky items high up and get them out of the seating area.

Great product, works great, looks great. Put off the purchase simply because of the cost. Decided to have my top case painted to match my RT and that was enough to push me to make the purchase. Very happy w/ the results. Wish a template came w/ the rack, but lining it up and angling the front screws wasn't a big deal. Measure/measure/measure then drill. Would buy again, only sooner.

I installed the black top case rack on my '09RT yesterday. Installed hardware worked fine. The front legs on this newer model are apparently much more vertical than in previous models, and installing it took all of 1/2 hour. I removed the top case cover from the hinges (4 screws) and worked on it on my workbench rather than on the bike, to make it easier. It took longer to figure out exactly where I wanted it, and getting over the nerves of drilling into the cover. Masking tape worked great for the layout, and I measured about 20 times before drilling. It looks and works great. I did have to return the first one I bought, as it had some imperfections in the black coating, some scratches, and rust in the mounting holes, but as soon as I called, Wunderlich e-mailed me a UPS return label, picked up the return shipping, and cross-shipped me a replacement which was in fine condition. Overall, I'm happy with the rack, and thrilled with the customer service. A final note: don't over tighten the bolts. I did on the rear legs and noticed a "puckering" under the nylon washers only in sunlight. Loosening a thread or two, and the "puckers" went away, and its still mounted on there nice and strong.

After watching the install video and reading the reviews, I decided to have my wife help me! First, I threw away the template, it is just not accurate enough. I laid long strips of painters tape on the box top at the points of connection. Positioned the rack and marked the tape by drawing circles around the attach points of the rack. I then moved the rack over enough, leaving it on the box top, so that I could visually see the drill angle required for the forward holes. After drilling the forward holes, I attached them to be sure I had them right. Then I removed one front screw and moved the rack enough to drill the rear holes. Attaching is tricky and I could not have done it without help. The instruction video really should say that. The rack is great and looks terrific, we are leaving on a trip in 2 days and will try it out but it feels firm and sturdy. Take the time to think it through, if that doesn't work, call and I'll send my wife over.

I liked the look and quality of the rack for my R1200RT but the installation could be made easier. The drilling of the two front holes at the required angle is somewhat difficult and if not done properly, makes installing the screw close to impossible. An easy fix would be to redesign the front of the rack where these screws attach similar to the design of the rear screws- flat to the trunk rather than the angled approach. Though a nice design, I think a little function over form is in order.

I enjoyed the benefit of having a good buddy who recently installed this rack. He came over had a couple pieces of advice, throw away the template and install the angled (front) legs first. He had followed the factory instructions for his installation and from that experience arrived at the conclusion that I should not. We carefully measured and triangulated until placing the rack in the right spot, drew pencil around the front, spring loaded center punch to mark for the drill, finished by drilling with angle to the rear. Loosely installed purchased 6x20mm bolts, lower and marked the rear, punched and drilled. Installed bolts in the rear and tightened it all up. Under 40 minutes invested including opening the box. I do recommend getting the longer 6mm x 20 mm bolts for the front and using the longer ones in the kit for the rear. I got the black powder coat, the finish is great and the rack looks great on the machine. I recommend this product.
