New Product BMW Pillion Mount System

We've done a couple of BMW pillion mount tanks up to this point but recently we were requested to build one for a 2016 BMW RT1200RTW. The W being water cooled but I've also seen it as LC (liquid cooled).

Starting in 2014 BMW changed the passenger grab rail mounts so our previous design wouldn't work.

We managed to borrow a late model RT, took a week plus, and perfected a robust mounting system. Here is a shot of the first live deployment,

This product is listed on our web here BMW Pillion Mount System.. There you will find that we call it a system because you can use the mount for an aux tank OR a luggage platform. We're currently negotiating with a vendor to make us a nice CNC fabricated platform.

We put together a product overview/installation video.

    • Bulkhead fitting installation also changed with this model so we made a video of how to remove the gas tank from this bike, install the bulkhead fitting, and reinstall the tank. This was a quick production so there aren't any bells and whistles. It's a straight up HOWTO that runs way too long but if you need it you need it.

    We didn't preface the tank removal with a plastic removal since we found a very well done HOWTO by JVC Productions,  

    Once you've followed these instructions you can tackle our HOWTO
