Great pics................. very shiny bike!
One favour, please?
Take a pic of your panniers, off the bike?
I'd like to see if the left one has the same cut-out as mine.

al,
does this help,the right hand one as you sit on the bike is the right hand side one in the photo.
for your info the same panniers fit the following models ,R850RT,R1100RS,R1100RT,R1150RS,R1150RT,and of course the R1100S.
hope this helps

Gary,
Thanks for that - I wondered how many models there actually were.
A pity they didn't make full-form ones for the S, though.
The City lids are handy - I can't see me ever fitting the normal lids again.
Cheers,
Al

Hmm, I'm
pretty sure that the panniers that I had om my 1100s didn't have a cutout, they were the same both sides

don't think there is a pannier specific to the r1100s.
mine are the ACA 16908A

Can you come clean my bike?

Yeah, think you're right. Mine are the same, I think - with the aluminium foil on the underside of the LHS one, even though the S doesn't need it.

(liked the way you placed bubble-wrap on the table before laying the panniers on it................. your bike must be spotless!

Hi Gary
Very nice looking bike & kit. Did you get the panniers/rails from Motorworks? And- would a laptop (15" - suitably packaged & padded) fit into them?
Cheers

I sit corrected
I found some photos that I took before I sold them, and yes, there is a difference between left and right
see, I
knew I wasn't perfect

IBM 15" Thinkpad fits in one side (prob the RHS), but I tend to think that the vibration isn't good for it. There isn't a lot of padding available at the corners (too big). If it is easy enough - I would take the HDD out of the laptop prior to taking in a pannier.
