R1100s lowering the rear footpegs for pillion comfort

[The Teutonic Tangerine]

Presumably that doesn't work with OE panniers that align to the footpeg?

Harry

I suspect not I never had OE panniers with mine. I know it won't work on the R1200ST bcause the panniers lock onto a knobby bit of the footrest mount.

[Al]

I don`t have boxe`s, but don`t the pannier mounts use the same holes as the footrest as they are sandwiched between the footrest and the subframe, if so they will not be affected as the plate will take the place of the footrests or am I missing something? perhaps somebody who has the relevant bits on their bike could check before I start production. If you don`t have panniers it doesn`t matter.

Al.

Edit, a friend has sent photo`s of his footrests/pannier mounts and the panniers are not going to work with the lowering brackets as they match the contours of the footrests.

A bit awkward in this weather but i have tried to get some pics i recon it will work fine








Crap pics i know

EDIT just realised i had the camera set for distance sorry folks but i'm not doing them again Dai

[Dai wiskers]

Looking at the pics again i think they will need modding a bit to get a good fit but i still feel they can be made to fit by using a spacer between the plate and the pannier plate possibly a dog bone shaped spacer 6mm thick


EDIT thinking about it the footrests will be an inch lower so they may work just fine without any spacer i still want them Dai

[Dai wiskers]

Just been out and measured the lower pannier mount it runs straight from the mounting hole for 35mm so i think attack the back of the plate with a file and all will be good the top of the plate will be fine the lower end may just catch the pannier bracket but i still have a idea they will fit as is

[TIM EVANS]

the pannier mount bits are fixed to the hanger as well as sandwiched between the hanger and sub frame

[Al]

If you look at the photo, with the footrests lowered on a plate the pannier mount will still be in the same place on the frame and therefore will not allow the plate to be fitted.

+ as Tim says in previous post the pannier mounts are fixed to the footrest bracket so I cannot see it working.

I can see now i have the mount between the footrest hanger and pannier mount missing

I will still have a set though i'm sure i can make them work Dai

[Al]

Dai, do you want me to send you a set of shaped but undrilled plates so you can have a fiddle with them yourself or a finished set? The cap head bolts may not be long enough with the pannier mounts fitted so I can swap for longer stainless hex heads if you would prefer.


Al.

[Dai wiskers]

Longer hex heads sounds like a good plan

Finished set would be fine i can always play with them at a later date
Thanks Dai

[Al]

Dai, no problem, I will start on them during the next week,
I will make up all 5 sets so anyone else who would like a set pm me to confirm and leave details.

Al.

[Al]

I have now made 3 sets of plates(myself, Dai and Bikerhoss) anybody else?


Dai, Bikerhoss I will send them out next week sometime.


Al.

[Dai wiskers]

How much do i have to send you Dai

[Al]

Dai, we can sort that little detail out in the bar at the Wild Pheasant

Al.

[Dai wiskers]

Ok see you there
