Wow Dad you have some serious storage there, I love it :)

I think the side cases are made by Micatech. Not sure about the top.

Yep, thats what they are. Really nice settup. And the R/H bag will hold a full face helmet something my Jesse's won't do.

Wow!

These two Beemer's really have organised packing systems. You Beemer guys look like you've made this into a science.

Thanks for sharing your setups. There are some great ideas here.

Side cases are micatech, the top case is also a micatech case that they will soon be building, it mounts either length wise, like I have it or sideways. It also will be available with a different mount so you can still ride two up if you want. They are dirt, dust and watertight and weigh about 15 lbs each, I couldn't be happier with them and the folks at micatech are the nicest most helpful people around, service after the sale is or should be there motto. Sorry to say that these are only made for the 1200GS and I think maybe the 1150 to.
