I didn't use the BM panniers on my 1150 but in your place I'd ask Motorworks about a left footrest hanger and pannier bracket for an RT.

I've seen someone solve the problem by attaching a pair of kitchen cupboard shelf-support pads to the pannier. It means drilling the panniers though.
Here y'are!
that is a good idea and could be plan C
ideally I want a bmw bracket that will fit straight on and solve my issue, although not too sure it exists
plan D is to sell the pannier and buy a GS box, possibly what I should have done in the first place
The extra luggage capacity is really useful. It may be worth looking at a fiche for the S and RS models to see their configuration.
Wudo used to make a fitment kit but you're unlikely to find one easily.
[EDIT] One other thing.. the end-cap on the foot-rest hanger can be removed. If you resort to attaching the plastic supports check whether the best fit is with or without the end-cap.
thanks
I think I will just sell these and buy another pair that fit directly on
the loss of capacity is not a concern
any takers ? work perfectly usual scrapes 2 matching keys
Ok,
Since answering your PM this morning I've managed to zoom and crop an old photo on my tablet here in rainy, cool Galicia,
It maybe gives some idea of the over-engineered bracket I've got - I used black nylon sheet for mine.
As I said in PM, the plastic blocks are an easier job - and AndyT has now posted a photo
Like I said before, I wouldn't give up now - get a couple of the blocks, fit the case and move until vertical then stick on blocks with double-sided tape, then carefully remove case and drill and fix blocks.
As I said before, bike looks far neater from rear with the two full size boxes.
Cheers.........Grizzly
thanks for that
that looks like a good job
I will see how my sale goes, if not I will modify
Why not just fit the blocks it takes 5 minutes and gives you extra useable space. Here is the pic that I saw which made me change my method and never looked back.
