S/ST tailrack fit GS?

FredRydr · Jul 28, 2008

I have a hard topcase on my R1200R that is the same for the F800S & ST. If the S & ST rack also fits the GS, then I can easily throw the BMW topcase on one or the other of my two Beemers.

Does anyone know if the tailrack attachment points on all the F800 twins are the same, enabling use of the S & ST rack on the GS?

Thanks.

Good question! Where's the answer? I have the BMW small topcase on my R1200RT. Would be nice to have the option to switch them over.

Anyone using Caribou System?

I'd say absolutely no. The SW-Motech mount for the S is a direct replacement for the ST rack or S handlebars, and has the same mount locations and a really similar design as the ST rack, and I've been told it's not even close.

I think BM designed it specifically so only the mount for the Vario top case would fit.

So...how to attach the compatible top plate for the R/RT/ST/S rack to the supports of the GS rack. Hmmmm. Frankenbike shall rise!
