BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

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...

an alternative supplier...

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

I got mine from Nedplex - so far very good no problems

I found another slim pannier case manufacture/supplier in France called BCD http://www.bcd-design.com/en/catalog-bmw/

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.

Does the central locking still work?

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.

Wow must be a riding God, he can corner hard enough to scrape the pannier lids  8)
