do any of the vendors out there in the UK make pannier racks to fit a R850R to take a set of heavy duty Aluminum panniers, looking for pannier frames in a 'loop' style with atachment for a rear rack of sorts. Locky.
What sort of panniers are you going to use,and what size are they?
Tube racks are shite,because if you bend them,you're fecked and you won't get them servicable again(and you'll have to buy new ones)
If you e-mail me,I'll see what I can sort out for you.I might have some old steel ones kicking about,so that would keep the cost down,and make shipping a bit more affordable.
Here you go OLD BOOTS, this is what i ended up with, it was really made to fit the 1100/1150GS and there also made to bolt straight up to the 1150R but fit the R850 but need a bit of mucking to get the side pannles to fit back on, i just left them off. Locky.
