Which Pannier Mounts Fit A 1986 R80 GS PD
It is time to start looking for a luggage system for my 1986 BMW R80 GS PD.
The bike came with BMW mounts that I believe were meant for an R100 GS (holes do not line up).
The rear sub frame on my 1986 R80 and 1990 R100 GS models are different. The R100 GS sub frame is longer in comparison and therefore has more length to attach the mounts.
Touratech lists mounts for an R80 and R100 GS, but it appears that they are for the Paralever models.
I haven't decided which panniers, but I am leaning towards the Touratech brand. I am also considering making copies of these since we have the facilities at work. Jesse and H&B bags are out...I just don't like them.
