Luggage Rack – Aluminum rack for passenger seat - BMW F450GS | Wunderlich

Wunderlich F 450 GS luggage rack: carry more, better centered

Specifically designed for the F 450 GS, this luggage rack replaces the passenger seat. You can attach a seat bag, a waterproof roll, or a pouch directly above the rear axle. The luggage is thus closer to the motorcycle's center of gravity rather than overhanging: the handling remains neutral even when loaded, and the motorcycle gains maneuverability compared to mounting high side panniers or a bulky top case.

The multi-piece construction and the cutouts in the center of the plate offer numerous attachment points distributed on all four sides, allowing you to strap down a bulky bag as well as a smaller item without it slipping into the cutouts.

Mounting the luggage rack on F 450 GS: simplicity first and foremost

The luggage rack mounts exactly like the original passenger seat, without drilling or modifying the motorcycle. It is compatible with both the original BMW rider seat and a Wunderlich seat. It locks thanks to the F 450 GS's original seat lock: same level of security, same mounting action.

Its finish perfectly aligns with the edge of the rider's seat for a clean result, without breaking the line. Removal is just as quick: you can switch back to a classic passenger seat in a few moments as soon as you take a passenger again.

Wunderlich F 450 GS luggage rack: for whom, for what?

This rack is primarily aimed at motorcyclists who travel solo on their F 450 GS adventure bike: long-distance trips, road trips, or simply weekend outings where you need to carry more than what the tank pockets allow. It ideally complements the CLICK BAG tank bag and its dedicated mounting ring for the F450GS: luggage at the front on the tank, luggage at the rear on the luggage rack, all distributed in a balanced way without affecting the motorcycle's line.

FAQ: Wunderlich BMW F 450 GS Luggage Rack

Does the luggage rack permanently replace the passenger seat?

No, mounting and removal are reversible at any time. You can switch back to the original passenger seat as soon as you carry a passenger again, without tools or significant loss of time.

Is it only compatible with the original BMW seat?

No, it is compatible with both the original BMW rider seat and the Wunderlich rider seat for the F 450 GS. The finish aligns in both cases with the edge of the rider's seat, without any visible break in line.

Do I need to drill the F450GS to mount the luggage rack?

No, no drilling is necessary: the luggage rack uses the original F 450 GS mounting points and seat lock. Installation is the same as for installing or removing a classic passenger seat.

How long does it take to mount on the F450GS?

Count a few minutes, the time it takes to remove the original passenger seat and lock the luggage rack in place with the same lock. No special tools are needed.

What's the difference between this and a cheaper generic luggage rack?

A generic luggage rack is not cut to the exact dimensions of the F 450 GS: imperfect alignment with the rider's seat, fewer anchoring points, and sometimes the need to tinker with the fastening. This one is specifically machined for this model and uses the original locking system.
