OE BMW specific R11s tank bag and tail pack, enough space for a week in Scotland. Both fit the bike properly / securely, look good and are very practical.
You'd be welcome to borrow them for your trip if you collect from Suffolk ?


Thanks for the more than generous offer, I wont take you up on it though as I don't like borrowing stuff, just in case.

But think that's the option I'm going to go for, larger tank bag though I think.

The advantage of the bike specific bags isn't that they are pretty well thought out with respect to fixing straps.

Er?
other than the footpegs, How else is the bag attached? :D

Looks a pukka bag, where was that from?

I think the drybag was from Bags Connection. I bought it at the NEC a couple years back. I had used an Aldi drybag for £7 which was good, but had to be loaded from the end, which was a pain. The bags connection one opens fully across the top, which makes it really easy to find your favourite pants!

It has 4 straps, so I attached the front 2 to the footrest hangers, and the rear 2 to the subframe under the pillion seat.

This is the Aldi bag, which I bungied to the pillion seat loops.

Fontana, Givi don't list a fitting for the 11s but the spacing looked so similar to the spacing on my GS I just had to try it - not tried it with the bag fitted - being offset might play havoc!!!
