F700GS Small Luggage Rack - Just a place to bungee?

I recently had a 2016 F700GS follow me home. On the back it has a flat alum panel which I understand is a BMW Small Luggage Rack. Is this intended for any specific bag or is it simply a flat place to bungee a random bag in place? Thanks for the advice.

Welcome to the forum!!

I do not know of any special use for that plate, but it certainly is of limited value as luggage rack. I replaced mine with a larger one from Happy Trails.

Shame it’s aluminum. If it was painted steel, you’d have quite a few aftermarket choices of just slapping a magnetic bag on it.
 
Thanks for the replies

Thanks for the replies. The rear pocket bag doesn't seem all that big. Guess I will swap plate out for a Givi Monokey and find a top case big enough for my laptop.
