BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Looking to buy without selling a kidney, inner bags pls, or suggest where to buy, postage to Ireland is required.

Found these on ebay. Although quoting R1200RT, I think pannier dimensions might be the same??

Much less than a kidney

I bought a pair from Amazon. Well made, expandable and even have a back pocketed that fits into that funny shaped cut out at the back of the panniers.

However what are really useful are the bags Autoglym pack their clean & polishing kits in (picture below). If you're just looking for a bag to hold a few bits & bobs in they are great, fit inside the pannier perfectly and most of all, they're cheap. I was given one by a friend and bought the other off ebay for a tenner.

I have a pair of very plain bags from my 1200RT, but I would imagine shipping to Ireland would be outrageous? I'm in California, USA, zip 93551.

Thanks all, I will look at all options and report back how purchase went. G

This time I just bought aftermarket ones rather than the OEM BMW ones. The reason was purely financial, the last couple of bikes I've bought them for were around £200 for the set, and although they are good, I just think they are a rip off when you can get them for £50/60. Admittedly, they are not as good as the originals, but are you seriously going to wear these out? I probably use then half a dozen times a year for trips, so for what they are I'll no longer buy the BMW ones.

I searched high and low. BMW are expensive for what they are, and amount of use per year. I did get a brainwave, changing over from a Triumph Trophy SE and decided to try the Triumph pannier bags (never had back box bag). Triumph bags fit very well and that is it, search over. Badge don't matter, they fit. Tank bag is search. Thanks all

My inner bags are made by Mane Event. Used them for over 5 years. Although they are made for BMW panniers ive used them in alloy cases. They seem to fit R1200/1250/K1600 Panniers. Said to be handmade in Manchester. I recommend them so do loads on the ukgser site, no pulling on the stitches and all the zips work as the first day.
Seen them on eBay now and then. I paid £35 but i see they have gone up.

I'm still using the cheapo non branded bags I got second hand on the bay for my Goldwing in 2014. Fitted my K1600 too and fit my R1250 easily.
