good point, Johnny. But O just want a pic of the right rack, would be nice...
Those are photos of the correct rack. One photp shows a side profile of the correct rack on a rear cowl; another shows the correct rack with the mounting plate next to it. The plate snaps into the space between the interior rails of the rack. The pin passes through the center of the top case's interior floor, through the hole then is rotated to lock the case to the plate.
So what is the rack I have?,and will the other one fit in the same holes in the cowl, as it’s from a generation 2 set?
if you're attached to that mounting bracket and can't spring for the BMW original and the scarce-as-hen's-teeth mounting plate, there are aftermarket alternatives. I have Emgo's box on my Ural, not a sexy as the iconic 22L but sturdy, cheap, and functional with a universal mounting system. https://www.amazon.com/Emgo-72-32440-Travel-Trunk/dp/B000GVD0VE
The rack on the cowl you looks similar to the optional OEM top box rack that goes on top of the 22 Lt. I could possibly be used as such if you needed extra storage. However I looked at fitting the optional top rack but I didn't want to stress the lid any futher. Picture of the OEM optional rack for comparison which are even rarer than the 22Lt in OZ.Regards Martin. Top box rack.jpg (5.58 kB . 140x105 - viewed 577 times)
Besides the one my mate has there has only been one other for sale on Ebay in the last year. Regards Martin.
Soggz I just tried to get a part number but no listing. So are they OEM or are they by an accessory manufacturer? The one that was on Ebay was advertised as OEM. The couple that I have seen over the last 20 years all looked the same slightly tapered as per the posted picture. Regards Martin.

As I said earlier I did look at buying the one listed on Ebay but decided it would put too much strain on the lid. I've had one answer as to whether it's OEM or not, saying not. I'm now trying to find out who made them. I've seen at least two fitted to Bricks in OZ and the one a mate has which came with a 22Lt top box he bought and the one advertised on Ebay as OEM BMW. I've also never seen them associated with any other brand bike. I suspect they might have been an OZ aftermarket thing. Still trying to dig up more information.Regards Martin.
I'm guessing that they are OEM, as there are no other holes in the cowl.
