What system cases fit the R1150R?

Post by Dr Adventure »

Dumb question, I know, but I keep getting different answers from different people.

There must be a simple list that we can all reference to find out which bags are common to which BMW's. For example, someone emailed me with an offer to buy his system cases off his 1995 R1100R. I ride a 2002 1150 R. A couple of dealers have told me contradictory things. Anyone have a simple set of guidelines?

R1100R, R1100GS, R1150R incl. Rockster, R1150GS, all take the same bags. On the left bag the inner half is shaped to go around the high muffler reducing space. A muffler lowering kit is available from BMW. With that a full size left bag from R1100/1150 RT/RS/S can be used.

Many thanks for the replies.

I'll give the R1100R bags a try. I don't plan on lowering the pipes just yet (out of vanity).
