What's available as F900r sidecases?

[chessare5]

Is there a better choice for sidecases for the F900R than the OEM's? I have taken one trip of 1200 miles, also using a large Wolfman vinyl bag (which I love!), so I can make do. However, the OEM's aren't waterproof, and, obviously, have very limited capacity. They are very light, which is good, I guess.

I've searched a lot in the year and a half that I've owned this bike, and haven't found anything suitable. Thoughts?

Thanks to all!!!

I'm surprised your BMW bags are not waterproof.
You can check out Shad.

Looks like the bags are a little bigger at 36 liters.

Or check Givi web site. Are you wanting hard or soft bag ?

Eugene, I actually don't have a preference hard versus soft. More interested in volume.

Do you have the OEM hard bags now?

Yes, bought them with the bike last March. They appear to be made of a reinforced fabric, which is not rigid, although it is robust. The zippers seem to be the entry point for moisture in hard rains, but they do come with vinyl inner "bags", so contents are easily protected.

Thanks, Jim

Those are considered Soft Luggage. When I check the parts fiche it appears BMW does not sell hard side bags for this bike.
They do have a 30 liter hard top box.
