1983 R100 RS Project

Happy Holidays everyone!

Not much going on here in New England. Bike related
Bike is now on a tender for the winter months. I don't see too many opportunities for a ride in the up coming months. Especially with the first potentially major snow storm due here Sunday. We'll see...
So I do have one questions to throw out to the group.
I've been researching USB phone chargers for the bike. Does anyone have some ideas on that?
Thanks in advance
Brian

Hello all,
Itching to get back out on the road here in New England. Just would like to see the temperatures a little warmer!
In the mean time I've been researching period correct panniers for my 83 R100RS. I see alot of variations out there and I'm really not sure what is correct.
I think the mounts are pretty straight forward. It's the hard cover bags that I see the variations.
Does anyone have good insight to what is correct or if you're in the NE area, know of anyone selling panniers.
Thanks again,

Brian
 
Per MAXBMW fiche 0146532315183 is the left touring case and 0146542315184 is the right side. NLA I believe. You can find them for sale used in the usual places, condition and keys may be an issue for you, good luck.

Here's what the OEM bags looked like in 1984.

Here's what the mounts looked like.
I don't remember if the RS mounts were chrome or painted black.

The parts fiche shows this bag pictured below was used in 1983 then changed in 1984 to what I showed above.
