Hi Guys (and Gals), BAAK make some damn fine side panels for the R9T
https://www.baakmotocyclettes.com/en/home/299-side-covers-bmw-r-ninet-1200-black-raw.html
I`ve not personally used them, no doubt they are excellent (I`d never say anything bad about anyone else`s stuff anyhoo) however the idea of using self tappers to screw the panels into the plastic battery box is something I`d (personally) try to avoid. I stress they are no doubt excellent but I think I have come up with an alternative by simply modifying standard P clamps to incorporate a threaded rivet bush - its a bit fiddly but it does allow the panels to be fixed to the frame rather than being screwed into the battery box.
If anyone wants to fit their own side panels (even the BAAK version) just PM me and I`m happy to help with this alternative clamping method or alternatively the whole product (with modified clamps) is available on my site.
