r1150r rack

[pj1150r]

Does anyone else on a rr find the bmw rear rack completely useless? i either need a different rack or a tail trunk that fits real nice. Any suggestions? My bike is an 02.

The guys on the R1150R.net forum have many top box solutions with install pics.
From the high end Givi's to the inexpensive JC Whitney's.

I use the Pirate's Backrest with the T-Bag for the hotel trips.

I don't like that one much. My wife uses the one from my origonal K12RS. If you don't stuff it full, it sags. She usually uses the back rack for the dog carrier now.

If you want a factory trunk case, the one for the K1200GT ifts perfectly...the hand holes in the rear racks on both bikes have the same dimensions for the case mount. I have one mounted on my "04 1150r and it works/looks great, although the literature that came with it says to keep it under 85 mph. I can post some pics if you want.
