I have always wanted more sport for sport touring than what my 12S has to offer, so over the winter I decided to combine the "touring" aspect of the 12S with the "sport" aspect of the HP2.
I decided to start with the HP2 as a base as it seemed to be easier to make the mods to.
The first thing to be removed was the belly pan so I would have a little more ground clearance if I had to go on any gravel roads.
Next up was a nice large tank bag in the form of a SW Motech Engage XL tank bag. This bag fit the lines of the HP2 quite well.
Then on to mounting a BMW tail bag that I had. That just straps on to the HP2 tail piece.
What took the most time was combining the R12S saddlebag mounts to the HP2. This was done with the help of my neighbour, the welder/fabricator, and by using some nice tubular mounts that use the muffler hanger for support. It all bolted up quite nicely.
I would be interested in manufacturing the parts for the saddlebag mounts if anyone is interested.
Here is the result............
