Might be worth speaking to them if you are looking at having one fitted.
I am fitting myself and they were unwilling to offer any fitment confirmation.
Hmm, interesting. My fitting company (PDACAR in Harrogate) spoke to Westfalia this morning and apparently they confirmed that their documentation has been updated and that the removable swan-neck bar does indeed fit the R-Design model.

Have you made any decision on what you plan to do? My Westfalia bar on my old 5-series tourer was 100% invisible and a beautifully made thing, so I'm loathed to fit any other bar, although I guess an OEM bar is always an option, if a rather expensive one.
