Hi all,
I've recently bought myself a G650 GS. I also managed to buy, separately from another seller, a top box and a pair of BMW panniers. Can anyone pleas advise what I need still in order to fit said boxes.
I've so far fitted the rail bars , which I believe the base of the boxes slot onto to. I am missing the mushroom bolts, which I think may be all what is required. I also have a selection of bolts and another bar thing (unsure what this is??). Am I right in thinking buy mushroom head bolts, remove plastic circle cover, remove existing bolt and fit said mushroom bolts for the top of boxes to mount on?
Thanks in advance, please see attached images

Marty, I think you would get more replies/advice on the GS 650 sites.
 
Marty,

Yes you definitely need the mushroom bolts, which as you say fit where the plastic covers currently are.

Will have a look on mine when get home later to see if the last bar shown is on mine?!

Just checked my bike. The last bar shown, doesn't seem to be on my bike. So no idea what it's for, unless your panniers are slightly different to mine or it's for the top box somehow.

Just get the mushroom bolts and I think you should be good to go!

I think that bar is a grab rail which fits around the rear passenger seat, its been a while since I saw one but I'm pretty sure thats what it is.
