Thanks for the messages. I'd be more interested in the top box and rack. When you figure out a price for it, let us know. I think it's going to be well over my budget though

That is awesome! If I get a rack I'm getting one of those. Cheers.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A BRAND NEW TOP BOX COMPLETE WITH TWO KEYS MOUNTING PLATE (UNIVERSAL) (ooop caps lock on I wasn't shouting really)- its a copy of a GIVI box right down to the plate fixings and the key shape etc. I found it on E-bay brand new £38.00 (Gvi would be around %£160). So far its done two ...

Sorry for the late reply. I thought I changed the settings to receive an email every time someone replied to a post, but apparently not.

Dont let location deter you, we can likely work something out.

I'd say even if you do me a good deal it will still be out of my budget. BMW luggage sells for ...

He did a nice job with the rack on that 1200s. Looks OEM.

Good idea. I don't take pillions so that could work. I actually bolted a box onto the pillion seat of an old bike I once had. I'm loath to butcher the seat of the s but maybe strapping it on like you suggest would suffice. Would the plate, or straps, dig into the leather and cause tears?

I will ...

I'm looking for a cost effective luggage solution. I prefer topboxes to panniers, and hard luggage to soft, but I can't afford racks, plates and boxes. I was thinking of trying to graft a givi plate (or similar) onto the grid rack thing at the back. I don't have the cowl. It's a curved surface with ...

Wise words.
It's just the branded bars are 4 times the price, and they're probably all made in China too.
Might see if I can live with the old ones.
Cheers.

I can't see what advantage you are hoping to gain over the standard bars with these. Surely, your hands will end up with a very similar position to the original bars? The bar-backs, on the other hand will raise the position of the handles and bring them back towards your body, if its more comfort ...

I forgot to mention, I was looking at a youtube vid of someone replacing R11s handlebars, and I noticed there were holes in the bars with wires threaded through them. I don't know what the wires were for, but could they be routed over a new set of bars?

They're for the heated grips (if you have ...

What about cheap and nasty adjustable clipons like these?

Hi. Any reason why these bars, or something similar, won't work? I can't find anything about them anywhere. They retail for about $30 on ebay. I used a set of similar Danmoto bars on another bike I had and they were brilliant.
Thanks in advance

Just got a cheap and cheerful r1100s. I really like the motor, but it could be a bit more comfortable. Look forward to pestering you guys with lots and lots of questions.
