Best tail pack for R1200S?

Postby Copper » Fri Jan 11, 2013 12:01 am

Hi,

Any recommendations for a tail pack to fit over the rear seat of a R1200S?

I'd like something around 20L in size.

Regards,

Jon

Had my Cargo Endurance tail pack pretty much welded to the bike since I got my S, £24 second hand but immaculate off eBay. 25L, I think?
Fits well and doesn't shift even when fully loaded. Got shoulder and rucksack type straps, hidden bungees, and a movable internal divider. It also expands with one of those spiral zip things, so it can take a ridiculous amount of gear if needed. Lots of handy extra pockets and it's well padded (enough that I don't worry about the camera etc) and shrugs off a shower easily enough, However if you're not moving, it will get wet sitting in the rain (I stick a plastic bag over it if parked outside) :)

Am always on the look out for the same make of sports panniers on eBay too.

I use a Kriega US-10 on the back of mine, and I also have the tank converter which makes it a bit more versatile. The Kriega stuff is excellent. Brilliantly made and totally waterproof.

You want a larger pack than mine, so give the US-20 some consideration.

I use a BMW Small Softbag - brilliant piece of kit - top quality as you'd expect, holds loads and a bargain at just over a hundred squids.. :-)

They are a doddle to fit and remove - takes seconds.

I use an o ford 1st time that I have had for about 5 or 6 years and is great and holds plenty of stuff-enough for a weekend away!

I think I got this free with a magazine subscription years ago

No problems apart from trying to get your leg over!!!

I use the expandable Wunderlich one originally designed for the 1100s.

The tabs that lined up with the seat hump bolts on the 1100 also line up with the bungee tabs under the 1200 seat pad.
