Bags & liners for BMW F800 GT
touringman:
The following is a url for Givi USA, which has mounts for bags and top case. I don't know if it saves you anything or not? As for the top case and side bags, Ebay, JC whitney and others sell bags that will fit the givi racks at a fraction of the real thing. They aren't as durable, but work fine. There is also Ebay and Craigs List. Try Searchtempest.com to find all Craigs List listings nationwide, filtered by location. The BMW dealers also sometimes have used bags, but they hesitate to tell you about them. If they are convinced you aren't a prospect for new ones, they might mention the used ones. Good luck, Syd :)

A couple of years ago, I bought a wonderful bag liner for my Givi E-45 from Cee Bailey for a pretty reasonable price.

I know Richard has already ordered a Givi Monokey topcase hardware kit to use his Givi top case (?E460 that he had recently bought and mounted to the VFR) on the BMW. Since the raffle bike came with the BMW saddlebag mounting hardware that may make theirs a better option, instead of buying new mounting hardware (and possible removing the BMW stuff). But I'm sure he'll look for a good deal on any and all saddle bags that might work. Maybe if he goes with a different option than BMW that mounting hardware can be removed and sold.
All that will beat the last minute luggage setup we used to get home from STAR in VT, which was strapping his duffel like dry bag and tank bag to the back seat and rack, while moving other stuff of his into my bags and using the Givi top case liner as an additional bag on the back seat of my Sprint (adding to a full set of top case and saddle bag). Good thing we both had various bungee cords to use.
My experience with bag liners was model specific ones (especially for European bikes like my Triumph Sprint) were pretty expensive, so I found something close and they've worked well. RKA (to me anyway) = premium price for a product that has declined in quality. Having to pay for a raincover that barely stops a light mist from making the tank bag wet seems pretty unreasonable.
Yes, BMW stuff is expensive, I think he learned that getting first service done where an oil change was over $200. (But then I think all of us who do those at home would find them to be very expensive at a dealer, especially if you don't use the high priced OEM oil and filters.)

Might be an option? :)

I called my friends at Morton's BMW in Fredericksburg, Va., and while they didn't have used bags, they say that's a frequent request. She refers people to the various BMW forums, where members regularly have bags and other items for sale. :)

I'll let you know what I hear back.

Thanks Brick, I did see your email. Have to check but not sure fitment is same. Also, looking for the whole set if I can get them.
