Hello,
I have a recently acquired 1996 R850R which I quite like but being an "orphan model", accessories are not easy to find. I have the BMW system side cases but would like to add a topcase. No top case was offered by BMW for this model during the production run, but it appears that the frame for the R1150GS is identical at the rear end to the R1100R.
A local fellow is selling both the R1150gs top box # 46 54 2 316 287
and R1150gs box mounting plate # 46 54 2 316 673
Has anyone installed this on their R1100R or R850R? Any experts who might advise me if it's worth a try even it requires modification or retrofitting?
Thank you.
Be well, ride safely.
