Hi, I'm hoping some of you out there can help. I've aquired some Krauser K1 panniers & I was hoping to fit them to my 2001 R1150GS, I'm looking for positives & negatives...but preferably someone in the North East who has done this or something like it before to a very good standard. I've assembled the framework & it looks possible to the untrained eye. The rear foot rests look ideal as a lower point of weight distribution. I understand the subframes on these bikes are prone to bad wear if over weighted but I'm a light traveller & I'm not going to be off road...much. Ideas please if you have any...
If you have access to a welder, it's not that hard. I got a set of Zegas that had a rack from a KLR. I cut all the mounting arms off and rebuilt it to fit my GSA. This is what I started with. This is installed on the bike. I thought I had pics of just the racks, I can post some later.
That looks great, maybe I need to think about doing a welding course but for now I think I'll rely on a good quality well established time served professional. Good to know that it can be done though. I've arranged to see such a bloke on Sunday afternoon who says he'll have a look & I know I'll get an honest opinion. Cheers for the pics.*
