R1150GS Panniers on a R1150R ?

Post by fazer1k »

Are the GS panniers the same design/model and will they fit without any problems on the R1150R ?

Thanks

They are a straight interchangeable fit. Frame and pipe location are identical.

The RT/RS will also once the pipe is lowered and the foot extended. This gives you the full size both sides.

Thanks for the quick reply Mike, looks like I can now safely place a bid....

In fact, the GS bag mounts will also fit the R.

Managed to get hold of a couple of good panniers at a great price, however the lock is broken on one of them. It's the plate that turns around with the key which then prevents the handle from moving/opening.....I guess replacement parts are available to repair ?
