Re rear crash bars: BMW do some self adhesive rubber strips to fix onto the side of the panniers to save the paintwork should you drop it whilst stationary. Fortunately I haven't discovered whether they work as yet, but as with anything bearing the name, they ain’t cheap! You can get some from Half...
