ok, thanks for the posts guys. I'll just have to wait and see what the deal is when they turn up.

Hi I've just pulled the trigger on the SW Motech side carrier frames for my 09 R1200R. Looking at the installation instructions, there are 4 quick-lok attachment points for the carriers, one of which is on a U shaped metal bar that attaches to the license plate holder. However, the diagram looks lik...

MT Beemer did you use the quick-lok pannier frames? if so, was the adapter kit for the H&B panniers part number KFT 00.152.111? I'm not sure what you mean by Zeus fittings, I assumed the pannier frames came off, leaving only the mounting plate. Is this not so? Lost Rider - thanks for confirming ...

Lost rider thought about that the first time they sheared. the problem is that the mounting screws go into a small rectangle of metal that is welded to the frame underneath the rear light housing ( I had the whole rear end off to find this). The rectangle is about 1cm wide and appears to have what l...

thanks guys, just searching for a machine shop nearby to drill out the sheared bolts and rethread the slots and then I'll give your suggestions a go. I like the look of the SW Motech mounts, they just seem a more solid design.

Thanks
Brendan

The first set that sheared were the original H&B bolts, the second lot were purchased from screwFix, a wholesale trade dealer.

I confess to not knowing what a Grade 8 bolt is :-(

Hi I hope someone can help here as I have a showstopper problem with my luggage. I have the Hepco & becker Xplorer set of luggage on my 09 R1200R. A 45 litre top box and 40 litre panniers. Both the rear rack and pannier frames are fixed using the two bolts on each side of the rear of the bike th...

dealer got back to me today with the correct adapter kit. BS787B for anyone who is interested. Thanks for all your help everyone, would still be thrashing around without you. :-)

Brendan

Thanks Lynn/BigEasy

Info passed onto dealer. I await his resolution :-)

Brendan

thanks Double Lifer, I've passed that on.

Brendan

hey lost rider thanks for the pointer, but unfortunately that thread didn't help. Lots of pictures and discussion of bar end bolts, and how to fit F800GS mirrors but nothing on the R1200R mirror thread size. I need that so i can tell the dealer what I have so he can suggest the correct Rizoma mirror...

Hi folks Just bought some lovely Rizoma naked radial mirrors as they're being discontinued so got a reasonable deal. However the rizoma mirror adapter kit BS711A doesn't work on my 09 R1200R as the bolt threads for the adapter kit don't match the bolt thread on the R1200R mirror mount. Can anyone te...

yes, the rear rack can be mounted on it's own, but you have to have the rear rack on to mount the pannier racks. They are a quick-lok type and can be removed easily if you don't want them on the bike when the panniers are not mounted. You can buy locking nuts for the pannier rack.

Brendan

Mike the H&B gear is lighter than BMW cases, can't compare to any others. For road use they are fine, that picture was taken at Honigsvag in Norway on the way back from a 2350 mile trip to Norway's North Cape. Lasted the 2350 miles back home to Edinburgh no problem. Cases are strong, inner bags ...

I have the Hepco & becker XPlorer 40 litre panniers and 45 litre top box. Very satisfied.

Mark

plenty of room for the passenger, sat up there myself while on a ferry crossing, and confirmed by partner when I got back. Did the photo ever get to you in the end?

Brendan

mark

that is weird, I resent them at midnight UK time on sunday. No word back back that it bounced.

[email protected] yes?


cheers

Sent at 16:57 UK time today. I haven't had notification that the send failed.

Brendan

Mark emailed you a pic. In addition to the top box and panniers, you need a compatible rear luggage rack and frames to mount the top box and panniers on. I got the H&B frames and rear rack pretty cheap on ebay, otherwise they add about the same cost as the panniers to the total bill. cheers Bren...
