Aftermarket luggage system for F800GSA

[erbe]

Hi
i am buying the F800GSA in the spring and i am currently looking into the possibility of installing different panniers than the original BMW. Are there any aftermarket panniers for the stock GSA rear rack?
If not are there any after-market racks that can be installed on the GSA? I am afraid that the rack systems for the GS might not fit due to the larger fuel tank under the saddle. I have searched and came up with empty hands so far.
So have anyone tried or use some after-market luggage system on the GSA?
Thanks

Jesse are the way forward As to your concerns about the under seat tank, the rails don't go anywhere near it

NB: The link page is actually for the F/G650 but select F800 on their site to see what I mean.

Thank you for the replies about the luggage systems. But not Jesse nor the ARD mention compatibility with the 800 GSA. I am surprised to see that Jesse has the price pretty much comparable to what the BMW is asking for their equipment ARD looks great too, but on top of the missing compatibility it seems they do not ship to where i live (SVK)
Now i still wonder if someone have some experience with some universal mounting rack, like the SW Motech Quick Lock EVO or similiar on the GSA. If i could fit it, then to find someone to make the cases would be the easy part i guess...

Could also try Bumot. In Britain they're sold by these folks, www.adventurebikeshop.co.uk

Speak to Roger at ARD Cases, fairly sure he is a one man band. I bought mine from him, he used a Touratech frame with his custom asymmetric cases.

Aftermarket luggage 800 gsa

Hi all
I have made a set of ARDcases to fit the original rack , however the actual mounts are proving a complete pain . I am looking at a whole different rack /pannier combo which hopefully I should have next week .Watch this space !
Cheers

OK guys. So basically there is no major manufacturer offering what i want. I see it that i will be better off looking for some skillful individual who can manufacture the rack for me.
Thanks a lot

They come with a rack as standard and if you buy the traveler version you get the boxes. Alphos make boxes and fitting kits. Try Motorworks Jjh

Hard or Soft?

Metal Mule balanced (symetrical) frames & rack so you can have two equal sized panniers. This will involve upgrading the can to the MM Scorpion... smaller, lighter and sounds nicer than that OEM monstrosity.

Hard

I have 2x 38L Touratech Zega Pro's anodized black with accessories.

Soft

Wolfman Teton... discontinued now but there is a bigger Rocky Mountain version and the waterproof expedition version.

Jesses are too big and fugly, Metal Mule are nice but stupidly expensive and ammo box looking.
