BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Hey guys newbie here.


Ive been touring on my other motorcycle for a while and finally made a leap as someone offered to sell me their unabused r1200rt. So I took the bait. Already put 2500 miles on her in last 30 days.


I'd like to ask a question pertaining to the passenger backrest. I've noticed the top cases go for an exagurated price and I was wondering if there is an alternative aftermarket piece.


Just looking for some back support for my passanger.


Thanks guys.


Here are some pictures from trip to Acadia from last weekend.

The Bakup backrests are so expensive, it would be cheaper to buy a pre-loved BMW topcase (or a Givi case).

Don’t know if you’re still looking, but Sargent Seats do a backrest now, check out their site
