What Big Mak Size?

[WBoyter]

I'm gearing up for a little trip, and I'm going for that Big Mak bag. Anybody else in here have one on their R12RT? I believe I remember seeing one on T.Brown's, but what size should I go with?

I went with the BMW bag. I had a Mak on my 1150RT, but like the way the BMW bag hooks on to the rack. The design also eliminates the need to throw on a rain cover in the event of a wet ride.

 

One shortcoming of the BMW bag is the lack of cubby holes for misc items.

Yes, I have the BigMak from my previous 1150 RT.

 

It is still the way to go IMO.. much easier for fillups during a long trip. Only downside is that you need spray it with some waterproofing stuff once and a while.

 

I have the Explorer SC bag and a Space Case on top of it. I also got the rigid platen.

 

If you mount yer GPS between the bars, then you will not be able to see it with the Big Mak in place

 

I mounted the GPS up high using the mount made by Motorrad Concepts in Scotland. Much easier to see while riding IMO See GPS mount here!

PM if you need a pix of the whole thing, I can walk to the garage and take a pix.

Absolutely agree with Scot!

I called Big Mak this afternoon, and I guess it was Mark that I spoke with. He said that he's just finished a redesign for the R12RT that changes the depth of the bolt structure and helps account for the volume control on the left bar. I ordered it up with a couple of accessories, and if you're interested I'll return the pictorial favor.
