BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I use the Wunderlich Elephant bag on my '15 RT. Very happy with it but one downside I have discovered. Just installed Ilium Barbacks to lift my handlebars and now if I turn hard left the horn button hits the bag and causes mucho embarrassment when bystanders try to find out why I am honking. Will have to figure out a way around that.

I mounted a Touratech Flat tank bag to a BMW rail mount on my '12 RT.

Anyone give me a steer for a smallish tank bag for a 13 plate. Mounting ring style units only seem to be available for the lc

That looks like a great alternative to the BMW tank bag, is this the Touratech bag, http://shop.touratech.co.uk/streetline- ... -2013.html

I kept the BMW tank bag from my F800 GT when I chopped it in against an LC and found it fitted great (with a bit of a mod to the front mounting). To refuel I just unclip the rear connectors and flip the bag forward to expose the filler. It looks good too. Result!

With most other bags (the BMW one for example),you have to rig something up yourself to prevent the bag or contents being removed

I just take the BMW bag with me.  Easy on/off, and I want to keep what is in there.  Usually have camera, sun glasses, wallet, GPS, etc.  It's my man purse.  8)

I use a Touratech  streetline  tank bag on my 2010. Fits to tank rails using Velcro and straps. With its removable map pocket and easy access to fuel filler it works for me.

I use the BMW tank bag that is made for the RT1200.  It's on the larger side, however, it fits great and easy to lift to fill with fuel. Perhaps more expensive, but as you know BMW stands for "bring more wallet".
