Can anyone ID my pannier cases

    From the photos of my R100RT?

    It has the tubular frames, rather than the 'Z rails'.

    I thought they were Integrals, but they're not and they don't appear to
    be Tourings either - and they're certainly not Classics.

    In terms of top boxes (yes, I know they're not recommended) - I *think*
    I can get a rack which bolts to the top of the pannier frames, but the
    bike isn't here at the moment, so can't check to see if the frames have
    the correct holes in them.

    At first glance they resemble K-series BMW ones, but it's been a
    *long* time since I had mine. Does the LH one have an indent at the
    bottom to clear an exhaust?

    No idea, to be honest.

    They are integrals Steve

    The top case I believe is the same as the K100 one (of which I have one in
    the garage from when I had my K100RS)

    Thanks. There are 2 versions of the Integral, then? - one with the
    folding handle and the earlier one with the 'strap' type handle - which
    is the one I have.

    Top case is indeed the standard BMW 22lt case from a K, but you can no
    longer get the mounting brackets and rack for it - discontinued in 2003
    according to the fiche.

    Yes early integrals had the strap later ones had the folding handle. ISTR
    the folding handle design came out when the K1100 models started.
    Motorworks may have them alternatively I reckon a K series rack could be
    molished into being bolted onto the back with some brackets maybe?
