1200 GSA pannier spares?

[Padi]

Hi all,
I just bit the bullet and got myself a GSA, however I'm trying to sort a few small problems. It's got the genuine bmw panniers, however one of the panniers is missing the pin that mounts to the front of the pannier lid. It's been replaced by a pin, which although it does the job, is far from good. So the question is, is this part available from anywhere?

I've looked on realoem, however I can't find any sign of them. Maybe there is an aftermarket supplier that has them?

Ay help would be good.
Cheers Chris.

They're a BMW part...so your dealers would be the best place to start....

....and they are actually made by Touratech, so they might be able to help you too.

And when they first came out the pair of thm played "it's their pannier" if you rang them up. Finally BM admitted that as they had sold them, and they weren't called zega pros then maybe they were their panniers

All for one of the corner plastic bits

Looking at the pins on mine they look like a piece of stainless bar/pipe that has been drilled up the centre and pop rivetted on.
I would just buy a piece of stainless tube of a similar diameter and cut it to length.
If you haven't got the facilities there is always a little chap in a shed somewhere who can

Pannier spares.

Hi All,
Sorry for the lack of reply, I spoke to bm and the pin I need is only available as the lid complete. I think if the dealer can't come up with anything before hand, I'll do as suggested and try and get some stainless pipe and cut to size.

Steve, thanks for the link, sadly? The latch itself is fine, it's just the pin that it catches on to that is broken.

Cheers Chris.

Also consider a stainless bolt threaded only just long enough that a dome nut on the end will bottom on the threads before it squashes the latch. Use thread lock to keep it in place. Failing that as said get a suitable tube or pin cut to fit. You could drill & tap the ends and fix with suitable small bolts again with thread lock.
