I knocked these up today, being a tight arse and not wanting to pay BMW £600+. They're a bit overkill, being made from 5mm Dural I had left over from some engine plates I recently made. I can live for weeks out of a tank bag, but Mrs Adam has a very unsuitable Sportsbike and wants to do a spot of touring with me. I recon they'll stop an RPG, or whatever the Continental Police use to apprehend speeding foreign motorcyclists

Hi Adam,

Which panniers are you planning to mount on your new supports?

Cheers,

Paul (fellow R1200RS rider)

Don't know really. Contemplating some S/h hard cases of EBay since they won't be used very often, or some Oxford throw overs I've found in the attic. I did make the plates with a thought of strapping some 20lit Kriega bags on, but I'll give it more thought when I get more idea about what Mrs Adam wants to take. A tank and tail bag usually does me for a long trip, so I'm in unknown territory here I flatly refuse to ride a bike with a top box

Seriously ?

You can get a SHAD kit for £400, if you really object to BMW's prices....
