ABMW Oil Can Travel Case now I know I've seen everyrthing.
IF anyone can find a BMW accessory that beats this please post it.
Hmm... I'm torn on this. On one hand, definitely ridiculous. On the other hand, probably better than the crappy plastic shopping bags I end up wrapping my spare oil jugs in when I have to carry some.

Besides, why would you carry oil?? You hanging around HD's ?
True. Could also buy oil on the road.
My bike is still in the break-in period AKA the first 12-20k miles or whatever it is. So if I head out even for a decent day ride, say 500 miles, I feel the need to bring some earl.
I have one in my oil-burner 335d. The case has Velcro on the back, making it adhere to the fabric wall of the trunk. The case was less than $5, but I don't remember where I bought it. Because of the urea tanks underneath the 335d's trunk, there's no where else to store a quart.
On the R12R, I replaced the plastic yoke caps with OEM milled-aluminum caps. I might have a problem.
Probably expensive and OTT. However keep something similar for two small 1/2 ltr plastic oil contains. I found using plastic bags does not stand up to the long term virbration in panniers or top box. I got my expensive OTT bag as part of a BMW wheel cleaning kit. Works well for me and never had a problem with oil leaking in my panniers. I think its a good thing to keep your stuff sorted and good investment one might say.
