Post by Stegsmith »

Hi all, picking my r1200rt 2008 today. Bike feels like it was made for me, can’t wait to get touring.
Bike doesn’t need much, would benefit from a good clean.
Having trouble trying to find panniers and brackets, any suggestions,

Welcome to the group. Pannier brackets are the black knobs that stand up next to the passenger seat these should be there already. SH panniers are available on Ebay. You may need to paint to the colour of your bike
