Anyone have a Aluminium top box bracket for the BMW R1200GS Adventure lying around?
Went to a buddy's S/S Workshop and slapped a bracket together with some off cut Stainless Steel in 3 hours...
Ever wondered why they don't use stainless steel for panniers?
Could it be cost?
Maybe more labour intensive?
Could it be weight?
Because stainless is much stronger you can use a thinner material thus cost and weight reduction... S/S can be properly welded as well. In my opinion S/S is more...
We eventually went there with all the goodies required. Border was busy when we went in but we came back one day earlier and the border was kind of empty. :)
It was a amazing experience! You can easily see that it was a beautiful country before the war. Funny enough, we were concerned about...

Hey Dogs.
I bought the BMW R1200GS Adventure on Sunday and can truly tell you that the KLR is in the same excellent condition as the Adventure. These bikes are both immaculate and Harrie (And the owner) are very helpfull.
If you want a KLR in a good condition, this one is for you.
Enjoy!
Thanks Chris.... I would also imagine if the bike is loaded with a pillion it might be possible to scrape, but I'm sure BMW did enough homework on that one...
I heard a rumour that the BMW aluminium panniers for the 1200GSA tend to scrape when turning. ???
I love to lean in deep :ricky: and wouldn't find it amusing if scraping can cause some handling issues, not to mention the damages to those ultra expensive panniers?
Any 1200 GSA owners out...
