Two 50 L Saddle Bags, a 33 L Passenger Seat Bag, and my Shad 58 L Top Case.

So now I am installing RKA soft saddle bags and a soft passenger seat bag for my desert cooling system. Should I continue using this Top Box thread or start A new thread for Soft Luggage? I have pictures of the little alteration I made to the passenger foot rest to make it possible to use soft...

When you pack enough stuff on your scooter, you have a battle scooter.

I always give the Harley Riders the benefit of the doubt for not waving. So many newbies buy an oversized Harley and can barely handle it. ( think Wild Hogs). I just figure they are afraid to let go of the handlebar for any reason. If a Harley rider waves, that is probably an experienced rider...

Was this your C 650 or do you own a C 400 that you did this to? The weight capacity of the GIVI adaptor plate on the C400 GT barely holds the weight of the GIVI 54 liter Top Case I own unloaded. The F 700 GS rack repurposed for the C 400 GT is a tough rack, (see earlier on this thread). I can...

Also, check out RKA-luggage.com. They make a lot of soft luggage for bikes, especially BMW's. The owner has ridden the C 400 and was ready to discuss possibilities when I called. I've ordered two saddle bags and a passenger seat bag system, and will post pictures when they are installed...

Photo 1 - Here is a picture of the mirror stem Quadlock without the vibration damper. $40 and another $50 for the case that fits your phone so you can use it. Photo 2 - Myself, I like using a Ram system under the Quadlock. I took the Ram ball from my old bike and put it on my C400GT yesterday...

Why did the Chicken cross the road? To prove to the Possums it could be done!

May 20, 2022 - Just Ordered a SHAD 58X Top Case with a universal bracket that a user on the Adventure Bikes Forum (Battle Scooter Section / BMW Scooters Thread) showed how to install with a video. Like the BMW Vario case it expands vertically to hold 58 liters. It’s a popular C400 X and GT...

"Hey Buddy" - The three times it is ok to use. (Starting a Fight, Petting a Dog, Comforting a Child.) v/r Claude

Quad Lock makes a mirror stem mount that clamps directly on the mirror stem between the mirror and the attachment bolt. I already own a 1" Ram ball that mounts UNDER the mirror attachment bolt, that then has a three inch extension, and another 1" Ram Ball. On that I can either mount a Quadlock...

I was under the impression that the Alarm was an additional OEM accessory. Funny, because even my $2700 Honda Super Cub 125 has both an alarm and a fork lock. All of the other 11 bikes I've owned since 1976 have had fork locks. v/r Claude 06 June 2022 Addendum - My BMW Dealer parts guys state...

Does anyone have the conversion factors necessary to convert RON to AKI and Octane as seen on US pumps? v/r (very respectfully), Claude

That AUGUST 2021 picture is a top case on a C 650 GT. Note the dual exhaust. That is a twin cylinder bike.
