Will pannier bags for a 2007 R1200RT fit a later ‘LC’ model .... or are they the same?

I'm still using the pannier bags from my old K1300GT on the 2016RT.  They are not BMW (came from eBay) and do not fit exactly, but are absolutely fine.  The fact that they don't fit exactly is a bit of a bonus for me as it allows you to slot all those odds and sods you don't want to take off the bike around them.  Save your money!

You are talking about the bags that go INSIDE the panniers aren't you?




If so, I think they will fit.

I'm still using the inner bags I bought for my air cooled RT in the panniers on my 2017MY bike. They work fine.


The panniers are different shapes, so if you're looking for "perfection" you would have to buy inner bags for the specific panniers but, as others have said, "close enough" seems to work well enough for inner bags .....

I've got the BMW bags for the LC panniers. They fit pretty well, but there is still a gap behind the bags where the panniers recess in. Some have fitted a net there to use the spare space. I thought about it, but couldn't be bothered  8)
