Aluminium Top Box for 1150GS?

[mystic]

The BMW top box and fixing plate is supplied only to fit the Adventure. My dealer says it will not fit the standard 1150GS.
Does anybody have info / or recommendations for an aluminium top box produced by third party manufacturers, which will fit the 1150GS?
Any advice/recommendations welcomed.

£125 + postage. That was with a mounting plate as well. Half of cost new.

Oh yes you can fit a 1150 adventure top box on an 1150 i fitted
one to my 1100 ( the same rack see) all you have to do is get the base plate
put the two bolts into the rack where the grab rail goes then get a peice of
2-3mm thick steel and bolt that on towards the end of the rack.

Thanks for that Septic. To be clear, are you saying that the 1100GS has the same rear rack as the 1150GS?

Thanks for that Septic.... thats very good news. Could I ask a very big favour? Any chance of one or two photos illustrating how you made the modification to the 1100 rear rack / top box mounting plate? The thing is I'm just on the edge of making an offer on a full aluminium luggage set + fixings. Want to be absolutely certain the t.b. can be safely mounted to my 1150GS BEFORE offering cash!

Many thanks,

Mike / Mystic
