From: CrazyCam on 20 Sep 2008 04:35 Hi folks. Any of you lot (apart from GWF) got a pair of BMW panniers that would fit a 1998 R850R lounging about in a shed, all unwanted? When I bought the bike, from Procycles, about four months ago, they did offer a pair of new panniers for some $840, and I, stupidly, didn't accept their offer. Went in last week and asked about them and got told, no, that was the price then, now they want about $1200. :-( The bike has the standard BM mounting brackets, and the left hand case seems to be an odd, cut out shaped thing. regards, CrazyCam

Have sent them e-mail requesting a price for shipping.... regards, CrazyCam

Both are non-factory BM specialists. The Melbourne one nicked my panniers (I think) so maybe they've still got 'em for sale! I got my K panniers from a BM wrecker in Gosford. -- Clem PS. You can fit a lower muffler which allows a full-size left pannier. |
