    RE: 2007 R-GS I am planning an extended trip to Alaska for next summer and taking a look at my luggage options. I have the complete set of Vario factory luggage, but I could use more space if I had it. It occurs to me that, since I won't be using the passenger seat, it makes since to remove it...

    Top Case Will not open

    Recently bought a used R1200RT 2007 – came with panniers and a top case. While the mounting latch works fine, the case opening latch as finicky. Recently it stopped opening. Thankfully only trapping dead air in it. What is the least intrusive method of opening this so I can get at the...

    49L Top Case Lid disassembly

    Hello and thank you in advance. I purchased a top case where the previous owner had cut off the 4 latches attached to the lid off the case. I've removed every torx screw in the top lid assembly but cannot figure out how to separate the inner black plastic from the outer shell. I've taken the...

    Hi Guys, Yet another question. I do a great deal of Marshaling for Cycling Road races. As such and also on a daily basis I engage in traffic filtering / lane splitting (legal here in Australia).

    1998 R1100RT Low-side crash. Snapped supports to topcase.

    Hi! Dang! Hit an oil slick tonight while taking a simple, traffic-free right-hand turn at a green light, travelling at about 10-15 mph. Leaned into the turn and *boom* we were down. Never saw the slick on a darkish and well travelled (well-stained) city street. I am fine, as I was fully geared...

    BMW side cases on RS; do they wobble a little?

    I purchased a new R1200RS a few months ago, it was equipped with the OEM case carriers. I wanted side cases at the time, but, of course, they have not been available until recently. Last week I was able to get the side cases but now I'm having trouble getting them to fit properly. Despite my...

I am hoping to be able to use adventure touring bags like TraX or Givi adventure bags but am having trouble finding the right mounts for my bike. If you have found the right mounts, can you let me know part numbers? Also, did...

    Multivario on K75

    Does anyone know if the Multivario K75 tank bag hit the horn button when turning the bars? Considering that the Multivario was designed for the K75, I'm hopping that they addressed this issue.

    Bringing Krauser Bags Back to Life

    I was cleaning up my R100RS about a month ago. Sprayed some kind of quick wax or quick detailer onto the surface of one of my Krauser bags and forgot to wipe the stuff off. One week later I discovered two gigantic off-white blotches on the bag. I've since been trying to remove them with...

    1200GS jesse bags on an 1100GS?

    Wondering of it makes sense to buy a luggage set for 1200gs and get it to work on a 1100gs? I can get complete jesse luggage setup (saddle. top, racks) designed for a 1200GS for a good price... could I then buy racks designed for the 1100 and fit the cases onto it? I'm betting someone has...

    K75 hard luggage/panniers

    I've written to Don and Brian, but haven't heard back, so I am posting to all: You're going to think me really, really stoopid, but... the BMW side cases on my new old K75 (see photo) have handles on them that make me think one can easily take them off their mounts and bring them into the house...
