GS Alloy boxes on a Harley...

[GS Bloke]

Hi
I have a R1200GS Adventure and a Harley Dyna FXDB, but I have no luggage for the Dyna and the stuff I have looked at so far is damm pricey so I am looking into the possibility of using my BMW side alloy boxes (seen here: BMW R1200GS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
I can buy the frames from BMW for approx £250 but will need someone to make up a good mount to take the loaded weight of the boxes.

Has anyone done anything like this or have any ideas before I get started on this project?

Thanks
Rob

if they are of any use i have some leather panniers and rails for a dyna (held iirc). Were fitted but never used. If you need a photo of them i'll have to have a root around in my loft.

......and it won't be until you pay £12 subs. Possibly the finest use of a few quid know to man and gets you into all the best parts of the site

I'd save your £12 and put it towards some alloy panniers for your Harley but you must promise to post pictures later

I'd probably bung him the £12 to see it

I think it's a great idea. A pair of those sheepskin chaps The Goodies wore would go brilliantly too

Saddle bags

These are the ones i have in my loft

as said before, rails were fitted to 2003 dyna FXD, bags unused and gathering dust in my loft
O.K not quite as much storage as a set of ally boxes, but much better looking imo

Hi Rob
We just supplied aluminium panniers & a plastic coated frame for a Harley. Give us a quick call, perhaps we can help.

I think GSA boxes would look smart on a harley, have you thought about a top-box as well?
