Extra Luggage

[Lonewolf]

Not a piss take I promise you. I see no reason why this wouldn't work on the GTR as well as other bikes. I've just bought a BMW large 'Soft Bag', for the bike as I cant afford over a grand for a topbox.


They come in large and small, this as I say is the large one. It is huge, has lots of pockets and is waterproof. £164 for the large one, I think the small one is about £120. They can fit on the pillion seat or the top box rack. Three different sized straps and four straps in each size so plenty of options. BMW quality....no don't laugh, it really is well made.

Do BMW do a version with the cage door to accommodate the canines?

Certainly beats paying a grand for a top box Steve. By the way, what tank bag did you use on the Gtr, I'm thinking of getting one.

I would rather pay the Grand to be honest kinda looks cheap on a bike like that lol

Except for one, minor thing, Steve.....it says BMW (not that there is anything wrong with that), but I just couldn't bring myself to fasten it to my Kawasaki.

I wouldn't pay a grand for a topbox, that's the contempt that bmw shows their customers cruel over charging , the sofbox is a good idea apart from the security point of view.

couldn't you use a givi box , modify a plate ?

I used the SW Motech quick release system.

Viper, I've bought the bag now.

Those soft bags are excellent Steve.

We've used them on test and they do work well.

Don't look as good as hard luggage, but do an excellent job and can be rammed!!

I've looked for a 2nd hand box but they're like rockin horse poo. This will do for my Cornwall trip in July.

Excellent bit of kit Steve, just what I need, how anyone know where I can get one without BMW all over it?

Other Tail Bags are available and for less than the BMW ones.

But George, are they of the same quality?

The Kreiga one probably is.
