R1200GS
Adventure Model "T" CargoRest FitKit is designed to mount on the stock tubular
Adventure luggage rack. No modifications are required to the motorcycle and
it's a simple bolt-on operation that takes only a few minutes. Static loads of
over 200 pounds have been tested, but (of course) for practical riding
applications you should limit the cargo load to about 30 pounds.
The Adventure
Model "T" CargoRest and FitKit can be used with the passenger seat in place, and
the EZRest or Classic2 BackRest can then be mounted for the passenger.
The Adventure
Model "T" CargoRest and FitKit can also be used with the BMW TopCase, when the
TopCase is mounted in place of the passenger seat. With this setup you'll have
the best of both worlds when riding solo - a locking storage box AND a huge
cargo platform for a duffel or other soft luggage.
The FitKit
system for the Adventure will not accept the Sprint or the stainless steel
Classic I BackRests, and will not work with the Model "C" or Model "J" CargoRests.
If you're trading in your "old" R1100-1150GS for the new 1200GS
Adventure, keep your BestRest Model "T" CargoRest and EZRest or Classic 2
BackRest, because you can transfer them to your new bike. All you'll need is a
FitKit to mount the CargoRest.
Remember, the FitKit is
sold separately from the CargoRest.
