fitting touratech pannier frames to 06 955i

[alf885]

I have a set of touratech panniers and frames that I want to fit to my 06 955. The enclosed instructions are pretty poor. My question is; has anyone any clearer instructions and/or photos of the fitting arrangements especially at the footrests and rear luggage rack? Thanks

I bought a set secondhand from Flebay and had no instructions,

Here you go,
i hope these help

 
footrest detail,front then rear

luggage plate detail

the way i have mounted the bar that goes underneath the luggage rack,
there are two small spacers that lift the bar,longer side to the right because of the exhaust
i dont want to teach how to suck eggs....but ,use plenty of copperslip and dont tighten anything up until all is in place,this way you should have some flexibility as you put it together,if you need any more pic give me a shout :D

chairhead, they do answer my questions and illustrate perfectly. I only got one thing wrong(?) I have the arrangement of the footrests the other way round with the mounting bracket outboard of the footrest hanger. I'll swap them over. Cheers

I to have picked up a 2nd set of Touratech pannier frames and had to order a new fitting kit as this was missing and a new upper brace bar only took about a week to be sent from Germany.   Any way I have not fitted the frames yet but after reading the instructions I also thought the frames went behind the rear foot rests with the backet plate infront. Can anyone else clear this one up .... :?:

I've left mine as I'd originally fitted them, it seems OK.
