R1200S Panniers

[Humbug]

Don't suppose anyone has any R1200S panniers in the shed needing to be sold? Got the mounting rack but the panniers are like rocking horse poo!

and that's plus VAT

although direct from Germany they're a lot cheaper

Yep they're cheaper from Germany - that's where I got both rack and cases from. Cases came with instructions for fitting locks etc but rack didn't. The bolts holding the footrests on are a little "delicate". If you go ahead and need the instructions let me know and I can copy them. It is pretty obvious how they fit but instructions have torque settings on the. there's a couple of plastic plugs to remove too. Be prepared for a bit of fettling fitting with the racks. I had 2 sets sent from Germany. On both sets the left hand rack was out of line. Although 1 or 2 other Trixters had no probs

Thanks chaps, fitted the rack without too many problems although you are right about the footrest hanger bolts!! Care needed there. I will probably go the Germany route £385 for the lot, got the rack for £40 so a good saving there thank god

are they the same as the F800 and K12/1300 ones? opens your search a bit more.

Pretty sure they are unique, but you're not the first to wonder - that's for sure.

You're right Al, realoem.com shows them as different part numbers to the F8S/GT or K12/13S ones.

I guess it's like the R11x0 panniers where the lids are the same but the backs differ on the GS to S models

Think about the position of the exhaust on the F and K bikes in comparison to the 12s
