First let me say that I spent at least 30 minutes searching various forums and online resources for a definitive answer to this question. BMW USA does not show the aluminum pannier system as an option for the F700GS, just the Vario cases. But they exists for the F800GS, and I think the racks and panniers that fit the F800GS should fit the F700GS (?). Interestingly, I found at least one European BMW site that does show an aluminum pannier systems for the F700GS, but when I grab the part # and put it into (e.g.,) Bob's BMW microfiche parts search, it comes up as an F800GS part. My wife wants aluminum panniers on her 2017 F700GS, and likes the ones on my R1200GSA and in particular that they are keyed to the bike, and also the ease in which they are removed from the bike. I'm not asking advice on aluminum pannier systems in general (that's another thread and I have no trouble finding those!) I just want to know if anyone has put the F800GS BMW pannier system on their F700GS, or otherwise knows definitively if this is an option, or not. If I was confident they would fit, I'd just order the F800GS racks and panniers, and do the keying myself (done that).
Thanks,
