BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Set of thunder grey metallic panniers from my old 2010 RT.
3 sides are covered in 3m ventureshield, top, side and front.
Left one has taken damage in a stationary drop (could've sworn I put the stand down). Right one only has boot scuff marks but is covered by ventureshield.
Reflective chevrons can be removed.
I only have the plastic service key to go with these. Everything works as it should and the elastic straps inside work fine.
Im looking for £200 for the pair. I would prefer collection only from Basildon, Essex.

Hi while I'm not in the market for the panniers could you tell me where you got the Reflective chevrons.
Regards

Unfortunately i can't as they were already on when i bought the bike.

These look very similar, https://www.gsstickerman.co.uk/shop/ref ... -chevrons/

Many thanks for the response, when I follow the link they offer chevron stickers in 4 colours - red, blue, black and white. Am i right in that the only reflective stickers you can have on the rear of a 'vehicle' are red.


Hope the panniers sell!
Regards.

Posed the question to the local "Police Interceptors", their reply was, "Our official line is there is no limit on the reflective stickers on bikes or cars".

But beware,

There's a civvi guy learner instructor in our town whose bike has the same livery as the Police and a white helmet. I wonder if he is committing an offence?

That fairly sums things up, No POLITE on the hi-vis vest. I've ordered the 'all red' reflective stickers for my panniers, just in case.
