BMW sidecases and Coocase?

Post by GregX999 »

Hello,

This is my first post here. I'm planning on getting an R1200R soon (in the next month or two - fingers crossed) and I have a question. I didn't find the info I was looking for in my search, so...

Is there a rack for the R1200R that can be used with the BMW sidecase mounts and that you can mount a Coocase? The two racks they have at twistedthrottle.com say they don't work with BMW's sidecase mounts.

Can a Coocase be mounted on BMW's rack? (They do offer one right?)

Thanks,
Greg

I think BMW is quite an exclusive and "patentedly" protective system...

I am not obsess with hard BMW side luggage as I am riding a lot in Urban context they are too wide for me when riding trough miles of parked cars at red lights.

(But I agree they have a smart attachment...
They look real good...
its no doubt that you look like a serious and noble BMW rider kind of German knight
when you have them on your bike ;) ... anyway... :roll: .)


On twistedthrottle I ordered the Motech rack which is compatible with many other side luggage brands... included coocase I think...but not sure.

Then I ordered a large GIVI rear topcase with the super lightning kit that Twistedthrottle offer.
as side luggage I ordered excellent quality RKA 50 liters expendable soft luggages. (Soft is a wrong term because they don't sag at all) they stick well tight along the bike body and do not take more width than the front of the bike compare to the BMW luggage's.
