i-beem Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 '06 R1200RT with side cases and trunk, I'm looking for a passenger-seat bag/backrest combo. Searches turn up the generic sissy-bar options from Saddlemen, etc., want something better suited to the beemer. Any suggestions? Thx Link to comment
szurszewski Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 To clarify, you want something to sit in the pillion position to hold stuff and act as a backrest, or do you want something to sit behind the pillion and act as luggage and a passenger backrest? Link to comment
i-beem Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Good clarification; looking for something to sit in the pillion to hold stuff and act as a backrest. Thanks! Link to comment
szurszewski Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 One of these http://www.bakupusa.com/bmw_models.html And a dry bag. Bmw makes a soft tail bag/top box sort of thing that you could probably put between the backrest and top box you already have. Or you could do what I did and make a plate to fit over (or in place of) the rear seat and mount whatever case you like to that. Link to comment
Oldrider51 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 You might look at Givi, www.giviusa.com, for this tail pack. They appear to have quite a few different types. Link to comment
Scarecrow Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Years ago I saw luggage bags that were "U" shaped. I don't know if they are still made or not. I did a search and came across this link: https://advrider.com/index.php?threads/who-sells-the-u-shaped-waterproof-bag-that-iv-seen-on-some-ones-bike-on-here.494644/ which may be useful (but it is old). I use an ordinary duffel when I pack a lot of camping gear. It sits on the seat behind me. I did have to put on mirrors (some KRS mirror, years ago)to see over it though. . I got mine in an REI store, but I'm sure you can find them in multiple places. S Link to comment
Ewell D. Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 You might consider one of these. http://www.aerostich.com/medium-motofizz-camping-seat-bag.html Link to comment
