BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Please let us know if you find a hidden space for everything/anything.  Amazing that on a bike this big, there is very little room to stash small items.  My XR has a fair amount of room under the seat.  I have my air compressor, tire kit, some tools, etc there no problem....

I'm in the UK but Sussex is a bit of a hike for me

Just thinking out loud here: can you get water tight bags and tie them to the frame with velcro? e.g. https://www.thenorthface.co.uk/shop/en-gb/tnf-gb/base-camp-wash-bag-small-astp has a lot of fastenings through which one could feed velcro strips I just don't know where in the frame you would atta...
