Pannier 'City lids' for R1200RT LC
Does anyone know where I can buy the pannier city lids for the panniers on the liquid cooled RT? These are the replacement lids which reduce the pannier width by about 100mm?

A quick search came up with http://www.pbhardware.com/SlimCase_pann ... y_lids.htm

You will only get aftermarket ones. BMW haven't made them since 2004.

How about saddle bags for the RT LC that open on the top like the GS. I hate that everything tries to fall out every time you open them up.

I agree. The ones our cops use are just the job, although they are narrower (so hold less) than the OEM ones...

Thanks Richards, I've contacted nedplex and they do make slim lids for the watercooked RT panniers. Cheers

Hi
Purchased a set for my new 2017 RT from Nedplex Holland. Arrived in 3 days. They fit but will not lock the metal lugs are too short to engage with the pins
Sent them an email tonight will post their response

Hi
They came back quickly and asked for photos, however having a second look with a little more time 5 mins with a Dremel and all is good
I have not yet painted them don't know if I will may be in the summer when the weather is warmer.

Re: Pannier 'City lids' for R1200RT LC
And your reason for fitting them is? Can't be filtering, if the front goes through so does the back. They are designed that way. One of the advantages of the OEM is if you are unfortunate enough to drop it at a standstill (easily done).
, the lids save some very expensive bodywork and bits like end cans and drive shafts.
I never ride without them.

Only if you are going in a straight line.
