Rear Under Rack Bag

[Eunuch]

Has anyone found a decent under rack bag that fits with the BMW topbox rack?

I had the Touratech one on my last GS but the one made for the LC doesn't look to fit if you have the BMW topbox rack fitted.

I like to stuff in it tyre gauge, tools and the like that I'll not have the need to use very often (haha before any comments).

Anyone found anything similar out there?

 

[DING-DONG]

I brought one, and when it turned up i thought wtf have i done spending 60 notes on something you can't get feck all in, so sent it back.

The Wunderlich 'kermit' bag fits the LC I think.

As an option, try the Wunderlich handlebar bag. I have one and it fits a surprising amount in.

There is another, cheaper maker of the kidney-shaped bag for under the topbox rack, but I can't remember the name.

I bought mine from Forth Gear in Edinburgh, but they don't seem to stock that make any more. Schtum will probably remember the maker, though.

Thanks for the replies .

The Boxer Bag, aka Ketmit bag, seems to be the replacement for the one I had for years that only gave up the ghost because the zip went big time. Must remember to lube that before winter.

Cant decide on the handlebar bag or the kermit bag?
Anyone got any more photos of the handlebar bag on their bike?

Its a right twat how you cant even store a puncture repair kit under the seat

Anyone have the WL bag know if you can get a SLIME compressor and tire plug kit in it?

 

[Bengaz]

Ordered the boxer bag for now...

 

[Bengaz]

Got it today. It's very small but big enough for tyre repair kit, ear plugs and visor spray/cloth that's about it. Had to shorten the strap and restitch the Velcro back on as it's really for the previous GS I suspect.

Your faith in me is touching, Al. So, not to disappoint you, I do believe that you're referring to the Held bag. I see there is one for the WC as well now but I can't find a UK supplier for it on the web. http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/held-bmw-r1200gs-2013-toolbag. However, I suspect that one might not fit with the topcase plate fitted. Forth Gear are still Held stockists so I'd imagine they'd be able to order in that bag when it's available in the UK.

I was searching for the name "Jofama" in my mind, but I think you are right with - "Held"

All the bag you need in the space under the topbox rack - for a sensible price .

That's one of the brands in the Halvarssons group and Forth Gear also stock Halvarssons, so you were on the right track.

Having used nylon and vinyl tool pouches for many years its best to remove it after every run to fully dry it and the contents. Without doing so all mine have ended up full of mouldy rags and rusty spanners.
Its a shame BMW could not have created more space for tools and odds and sods. I will miss the tool compartment on my current 09 bike and hope some tools will fit under the seat? where the TPC sender can be fitted. There also looks to be enough space between the rear shocker and mud guard to fit a tool box, there will be lots of space on mine, no ESC.

The Kermit bag is a really great discrete fit.

How waterproof is it?

Is that bike in your house? How did you get away with that?

 

[Bengaz]

The underseat storage on the new GS is really really crap.
I've had a kreiger tool bag for a while and found it fits in neatly as long as it's not crammed full. Only good for your full plugging kit really as under the seat is totally non waterproof but it keeps it all neat and not nickable.

I assume you don't have the BMW alarm, as I don't have that much room under my seat, and do have the alarm.

Nice colour, BTW.
