Does anybody have a friendly BMW dealer/parts man??

[StreetFlatTwin]

Just a shot in the dark - I am finally going to stump up to replace my missing RHS R1200S pannier which made a bid for freedom never to be seen again...
I have checked with motorworks and believe it or not BMW Central in Edinburgh are looking slightly cheaper

So before I order is there anybody who may have a friendly partsman or discount for BMW parts??

Where do they get the idea that all Scots are tight

Thanks

That's only Aberdonians.................


And Weegies, of course............

Anybody know if you get the waterproof inner bag with the case or do you need to buy it separate??

The dealer couldn't tell me if it came with the pannier but it is available separately for £33!!

I got second hand panniers with no inner bags...........
phoned BMW and they told me they should come with the panniers, but are available separately.

hope this helps

Williams BMW Manchester told me they'd beat any quote from Motorworks etc and in all fairness my recently purchased voltage regulator for my F650 was cheaper than Motorworks and they did the P&P FOC ... and of course it's easier to sort out the 2 year parts warranty when it's come direct from a dealership

I think there's a pair of the inner bags you're after on ebay at the mo'

Rainbow Motorrad in Rotherham could be worth a try. They have an on-line shop

Try John Wood at Cotswold BMW - He will do his best for you. I have used him a lot for parts over my local dealers as he will always try and sort a deal to suit. Problem with this is that he will have to order it I would expect which does limt their options. It may be worth mentioning that he has supplied me with many parts and that may cut some ice on the discount front...

They come with the inner bags. I sourced my entire set with rack from him a while back as there were simply no secondhand ones around at the time.

There was a ebayer in Germany selling them but not sure if they are still available seperately or as a pair

Best regards,

Try MotoBins at Spalding or James Sherlock in Devon for S/H replacements they may be able to help. Both firms have been really helpful to me in the past.

Weegies?

Weegies are highly educated people who reside in the industrial capital of Scotland.....

Weegies are the shortened name for them...full name is Soap dodging, useless, ugly, aggressive, lazy bas.......ahem Glaswegians......Weegies!!!


I have tried everywhere for 2nd hand panniers but they are as scarce as rocking horse poo.....so new is my only option

On checking with the main dealer he did initially state that they were discontinued then said no he could still get them (phew!!)

So it looks like main dealer it is!! All in £244.91

Yes.

Well to update this thread from BMW main dealer (Moterrad Central Dalkeith) £244 and they come with the waterproof inner bag, bolts, bracket and lock-and the parts man (Mike) sorted out one of the tech's to fit and key the lock to my ignition key!!

Very happy!!




Looks much better with 2!!
