Hopnel (or other) bags for 2021 RT-L

[Mike0123]

If a side case bag (like the Hopnel) is listed to fit an RT, does that mean it will fit an RT Limited also?
... and while I have your attention... I’m looking for a good quality full cover for a 2021 RTL, I am having trouble finding that exact description, so same question... but I think an RT one will not fit the RTL trunk... is that correct? I dont seem to find a lot of covers listed for the 2021 RTL, would that be the same as a 2020? 2019?

Thanks

ALL RT's between 2010 & 2019 have the same sized panniers, frunk, and trunks; and ALL the OE & dedicated a/mkt frunk & pannier Luggage to suit those earlier models will still fit in the 2020 & on RT's, both std & Limited; because apart from the most recent models frunk space being a little 'taller' inside & the purely external changes to the pannier's shape, they are still effectively the same internal compartments as the earlier models.... :thumbup: However, be aware that while it'll 'fit' into them, the earlier rear/upper trunk luggage isn't shaped to suit the later model Top Cases. All of which is a round-about way of saying that YES, if the Hopnel bag will fit the panniers on a standard '2020 & on' RT, then it will also fit the panniers on a '2020 & on' RT Limited! hyea:

As for the covers, I haven't personally seen this yet, but a number of people here have reported that their 2020/21 RT covers have 'zip out' expansion spaces to cater for having the top case fitted or not; so it sounds like you really only need to find a cover that says it'll fit a '2020 & on' RT - but it might be smart to check that it doesn't also specify something along the lines of 'not suitable for RT's with Top Cases' or the like!

Over to you! :cheers:

Zippers

I've had Hopnel bags for our RTs since new. Only problem is wimpy zippers. A little candle wax helps. Some trimming of the excess cloth near the zipper seam really helps also.
