GS1150 panniers and Remus can

[bob the grizz]

My gs1150 (2003) has a remus can fitted, this weekend I fitted my std gs plastic panniers, it seems that the Remus can touches the pannier, is there any adjustment on either the Pannier or the can to give a gap.

I have ordered a heat shield from motoworks, but I think this is only a sticky back foil sheet.
(Will this be enough to stop meltdown !)
Im due a trip in the Pecos and I don't want a melted pannier !!!

ANY ADVISE /or ANYONE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ??

Cheers
Bob.

The can has only a one bolt mounting point to the sub-frame.
Can you use a washer or two,maybe an extra long bolt to push the can away from the pannier.
Or put the OEM can back on for the trip.

I asked a very similar question not so long ago as just fitted the Remus and was concerned for my Hepco & Becker Gobi Pans. Advised to get the heatshield stuff or at least the heat deflector exender peice which I did happen to order at the same time, will fit before the Wales trip.
I was told also that the foil back stuff can be purchased from a plumbing centre as its simillar if not the same that you can place behind your radiators.
Was up at CW a wk ago and a guy up there had a Remus and the beamer panniers and I seen how close it was so asked if it was ok, he said his was fine but think he had the heat stuff inside his pannier on the inside wall

I have 02 1150GS with remus and BMW touring panniers no heat shield and they are fine, Didnt even make the meths I carried in that pannier explode! So must be OK

remus

Thanks for the info, just wanted to know really 'why the meths' in your panniers, was this a quick totty when the cold set in ?

Bob slacken the bolt at the front of the can and at the mount and you can then once you've wiggled it about a bit you can rotate the remus a bit thus moviing it away from the panniers and then tighten the front bolt and then the mount bolt!

Bob ,
If you have a Y piece fitted , then you Will have a Problem.
The Foil you mention is Useless.
You can move the Zost away from the Bag by using spacers .
The Stainless deflectors is the ONLY way to go.

Got standard can and ally boxes - even the standard pipe burns the paint on the box . Good for kudos though - meths carried? I bet he is a Trangia user. Best bit of camping cookery kit you can get - I got a copy from Lidl for £8 last year which is absolutely brilliant, but it is a tad larger. My Trangia was bought in 1980. Still going strong.

What Jaythro said

If the silencer is touching the pannier, then it's not fitted right. There should be at least 1/2" clearance.

I never had any trouble with Remus + Y-piece heating/burning the pannier.

Spacers do the trick - I'd no other option
