#1 | Pannier Compatibility datum

Wed Mar 04, 2020 9:48 pm

Hi Guys,

Just picked up a super clean 2016 RS (Premium/GPS). The previous owner never purchased panniers, but I have the mounting frame for them (he didn't even know what this was).

As I'm looking for some bags for a few upcoming trips.....and happy to pick-up some gently used ones.....My question is around compatibility. Are any of the RT versions compatible? What should I be looking for to ensure they will mount perfectly?

Any members looking to offload a set?

Thanks!
-Jimmy

The panniers for the R1200/1250R are exactly the same.
Someone on this site said the S1000XR prior to 2020 fit.
The inner half of the S1000XR is different so you need to double check this.
None of the RT panniers fit.
With a modification the Sport Cases from a K13000S will work.

This is what Sport Cases look like.
They are smaller than the RS cases.

A little off topic, but Lee that picture you posted of the Cliff House it's only about 75 miles down the road from me. I was actually thinking about getting down there for lunch one of these weekends soon.

The XR panniers (off my 2015 bike) will NOT fit onto the 2017 RS. The RS panniers have a rear cutout to allow the grab rails some space.
Panniers from the RS will fit onto the XR though

It's a fun area to ride. We run down there every October.

Just throwing this out there as an idea:

Shad do a complete kit for the R1200RS. Their mounting system is much neater than the OEM (imho) and you can always keep the panniers for use on your next bike?

Cheers

Post number 8 is not my bike but the top picture looks like a Axio tailbag I used to have.
I don't think they are still available under the Axio name.
Here's the one I used to own.

The other bag appears to be a Kriega.

A bit off standard: I went for sw-motec trax adventure panniers. Aesthetics are probably polarizing, but function is great at 30L per side and top loading.IMG_20180604_103709-EFFECTS.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

The GS owners club is that way --->

Just kidding. To each their own. Tastes differ, etc...

Screw that. Wrong is wrong.

But, thank God, it isn't Austin Yellow (i.e., Dried Bug Splat)
